The x86 versions of Windows PowerShell are available in the following directories:

`C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe`
- PowerShell ISE:
`C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell_ise.exe`

Change directories to the directory where VAMT is located. For example, if the Windows ADK is installed in the default location of `C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Kits\10`, enter:
