Solve PowerShell Issues Quickly with Expert Help

[Nate Duong]

Dear Group,
I am trying to use powershell to automatically change desktop back ground,

I had code and it worked (windows7 with 32 bit), but when I tried to put into different computer (windows7 with 64 bit) the code did not work and it showed the message. (images 1a and 1b below),

Do you have any ideal to help me out? I also have an image which code is included?

Thank you,

Nate Duong.

Your code shows that you're attempting to use a 32 bit dll on your 64 bit system. Do you have a 64 bit version that you can use instead?

Borg,
If I do not have it, how can I download powershell version with 64 bit?

Actually, when I right click and choose option "run with powershell". the software is run fine.

But when I created .bat file such as:

@Echo off
powershell.exe C:\Users\ngoc\Desktop\FINDER_PGM\ChangeDesktopOffice.ps1
cd c:\finder_pgm\radarcmd_finder
copy office.rdf default.rdf

the CMD window showed up and showed that message.

Do you have any ideal?

Thank you, Borg

Have you tried running the .bat file as an administrator?

Then I'm not sure what the answer is. I haven't worked much with the power shell tools. I tried a simple Google search and ran across this article on Power Shell Versions. You do need to take care with respect to the 32 and 64 bit operating systems.

Looks like you have the incorrect security policy set on this computer. You'll need to change the policy to unrestricted for this to work.

Open powershell then type,
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Then try running your script again.
