Usually when I've seen that error, it's because Powershell is not on the
system path (ie, C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0). Unfortunately
the error message comes from a much higher level (a failure creating the
tempdir), so the error message isn't specific to failures that might occur
on Windows (hence the somewhat misleading text).
