Help Installing Powershell (doesnt work)

I have an app that needs Powershell to run, but I cant find a way to install Powershell. Its not in the Crossover DB so crossover can't install it for me. I tried installing it using the .msi from its github release page but the installer gave me an error saying I am missing the Windows Management Framework (WMF) and Universal C Runtime, which Powershell requires to function. I tried installing the runtime via .msu file and it gave no errors, same with WMF (I also had to install the .NET Framework, but that was in the crossover DB so no problems there), but when I tried installing powershell again I got the same error that I need the WMF. Can someone please help?

You can run Powershell in your main OS natively. Take a look on this:

Best regards!
