Vagrant up command gives executable not found in %PATH% error

Question

I have installed vagrant and successfully added vagrant ubuntu box. But on running "vagrant up" command from the project directory, I got this error :

The executable "powershell" vagrant is trying to run was not found in the %Path% variable.This is an error.Please verify this software is installed and on path.

I also installed Putty client and configured it.

Note: "vagrant init" command works fine and it created a vagrant file in a directory. Vagrant Version: 1.9.7

VagrantFile contains

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial32"
end

Path added to environment variable : C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\bin

And the content of your `Path` environment variable looks like...? — Bill_Stewart, Jul 09 '17 at 13:04

You should add this line to your Path variable, and vagrant start work.

%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

powershell command not found in your machine.

run powershell command in your machine and check it works fine.

Expected results should be:
