test executable, should output major and minor version of powershell (e.g. 2 0
)

Ah I see, thanks for info. 
I was trying to find out why Waves Central installer was failing and thought
this might be possible reason, but indeed this is not the cause for failing
installer.

 For info , mainly for myself ;)  I attach simple test program that does what
Waves Central does, this executable does 

CreateProcessW(NULL, L"cmd.exe /d /s /c powershell.exe Write-Host
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Minor";, NULL, NULL,
FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &stinf, &info))

and it works fine once I install powershell

I think installer fails for other reason, I`ll just open new bugreport for that

Sorry for the noise

Regards
