My winforms app isn't shutting down nicely when I log off/shutdown. I have a main form, whose Closing event is fired correctly, but there must be something else keeping my application around.

Is it possible to run PowerShell 1.0 (or 2.0 CTP) backed by the 3.5 runtime instead of 2.0? We're building a .NET 3.5 solution, and I'd still like to use PowerShell as our scripting engine for scheduled tasks, etc. I don't need LINQ syntax or anything, just the 3.5 libraries and runtime. FOLLOWUP: thank you for the reply about dynam...
