Answer 1

After trying to debug, I got it working. Ensure your PowerShell is having all the modules required to work.
in my case when I pasted the code "Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name PackageManagement

it only showed me C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsPowerShell\Modules directory with 2 versions.

but when you are running the SIA exe, it will try to look for Powershell in C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\WindowsPowerShell directory.

Solution:
All I did is copied the Configuration and Modules folder and pasted into this path.

I think we need to add the PowerShell path to Environment Variable Path. the only error you might get after that is version Upgradation. which can be easily achieved.

I hope this helps others.
