Use Windows Powershell to expand zipped archive

Hey $Listers:
I’ve run into a need to expand an archive from within Omnis running in Windows 10 and noticed that there is a built in method to do this that uses the Powershell. Example:
PS C:\> Expand-Archive -Path 'C:\input.zip' -DestinationPath 'C:\output’
But is using the Powershell something different than sending a command line? For instance I’ve used Launch Command to issue commands in the format, passing in pScript:
Calculate pScript as con('cmd /s /c ',kDq,pScript,kDq)
Launch program [pScript] Returns lResult (Do not quit Omnis)
Quit method lResult
But my Expand-Archive script yields lResult:
‘Expand-Archive’ is not recognized as in internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
What?
