I am trying to run powershell.exe in the cmd.exe prompt.
error
The error that comes out is unrecognized command.
I go to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables

Under System Variables I find the variable Path.
I add the path where the powershell.exe is.

Shouldn't this solve the problem?
Any suggests?

Thanks

You don't want to run it by going to All Programs, Accessories, Windows Power Shell folder?

I don't.

I want to run it within a programming language.

For example, if I call Python's subprocess, I want to run a Powershell command.
I would have to execute 'powershell' before the command is ran.
Powershell would be called in the 'cmd.exe'.
