whkd: issue when using PowerShell: '$wshell' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[bzm3r]

The command in question is the one defined in whkd:

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell

Here's the kicker, this is only happens when I call whkd from PowerShell.

If I manually execute the command $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell in PowerShell, that works fine.

So I think the issue is that it is trying to execute the string "$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell" as a command, rather than as a PowerShell script object?

Anyone else run into similar issues?
