I am using Powershell v2.0 and am trying to run a DOS command via a PS console as follows. I have tried every type of escape sequence I know of but I cannot get this command to run? I have tried running the command directly without the invoke-expression command but this does not work either? Does anyone know how I can run a command like the one below in Powershell?<br />
