Powershell - MakeWinPEMedia : The term 'MakeWinPEMedia' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I am in the process of creating a WinPE w/ PowerShell using the following link;

I have mounted the wim but when I go to make the media I get the following error,

PS C:\WinPE_amd64_PS> MakeWinPEMedia /UFD C:\WinPE_amd64_PS D:
MakeWinPEMedia : The term 'MakeWinPEMedia' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if
a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I am running PowerShell as admin

Answer 1

The error says "Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.".

Assuming the executable name is correct, is it in a directory included in your PATH environment variable? If not, use the complete path to run it.

Again, assuming the executable is in the C:\WinPE_amd64_PS directory, try "C:\WinPE_amd64_PS MakeWinPEMedia.exe . . ."
