After WFA 2.0 installation the scripts are not working with an errormessage 'cannot run program "powershell"

HK193HK193 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:06:17 GMT

We have powershell 2.0 installed on the system with unrestricted ExecutionPolicy.

errormessage:

17:24:23.938 ERROR [Create QTree] Command failed for Workflow 'Create a Qtree CIFS Share in a Vfiler' with error : Cannot run program "powershell" (in directory "C:\Program Files\NetApp\WFA\jboss\server\default\tmp\wfa"): CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden

17:24:23.938 INFO [Create QTree] ***** Workflow Execution Failed *****

Could you please help me? How do we have to setup powershell to get WFA working fine?

Thanks a lot,

kind regards,

Martin

We had to add a systemvariable:

%SystemRoot%\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

Now it is working perfectly well!

Where did you added this system variable. Please.

I am facing the same issue after installation PowerShell 3.0
