I never can understand why people like Powershell syntax so much <grin>

I'm not going to be much help here, I'm afraid: I don't have access
to a Hyper-V installation and the error message is a fairly generic
one.

What might just help is a full traceback which would show exactly
where the error is arising. Frankly, I'm not too hopeful, although
I'm happy to try.
