Jenkinspowershell

I mm trying to integrate PowerShell with Jenkins. I am finding it hard to resolve this error as my PowerShell script job is failing as shown below.

[own-machine-powershell-job] $ powershell.exe -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy ByPass "& 'C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson3566059468296731803.ps1'"
The system cannot find the file specified

My recommendation is to check this locally before trying in jenkins.

If you tried to use the plugin or to execute an external file try to re-check the file path:

The system cannot find the file specified FATAL: command execution failed java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "powershell.exe"

The powershell exe path is wrong.
