Note: PowerShell is installed by default with Microsoft Windows 7 and later. To run the application, just go to the Windows Start Menu and in the search box type “PowerShell”. Select it off the list and many of the PowerShell commands need to be started with “Run as Administrator”. The IdentifyingNumber is the GUID for the application and can be used to uninstall the software via a command line such as "msiexec /x {GUID}"
