Hi Siva116
Have you tried passing the full path to cmd.exe as a parameter?
If you still cannot get it running maybe you want to download Hover, it is small free tool we built. It provides a GUI wrapper over the same PS commandlet, which allows you to easily launch an EXE inside the container of your desired application.
