Hi Jean,

Thanks for getting in touch!

The first thing to check is that Powershell is installed and in your Path environment variable. Can you confirm you can use PowerShell on that machine?

If you’re not sure, open a command line and type powershell and press enter. If there’s no error, follow that up by typing $PSVersionTable and pressing enter. If all that works, can you paste the results here? If not, you may need to modify the system path variable to include it.

Hope that helps!

Hello Damian,

Here is the result of my copy after typing the command $PSVersionTable in the Windows PowerShell :

Hi Jean,

Thanks for the reply.

PowerShell might be missing from your Path system variable.

Can you please try the following:

  • Go to Control Panel -> “System and Security” -> “System”
  • Click on “Advanced System Settings” from the left menu
  • Click on “Environment Variables”
  • Under the “System Variables” window, find “Path” and select edit.
  • In the “variable value” select all and copy to somewhere like notepad.

If “C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\V1.0” doesn’t exist in that text, you’ll need to add it to the end. Make sure there’s a ; between the last entry and your new one.

Hope that helps,

Damo
