Powershell doesn't have the correct path info after the vsvars32.bat command

Question

With command prompt, I run vsvars32 to run all the visual studio command line utilities (compiler, linker ...).

enter image description here

However, when I run the same thing with PowerShell, I can't run the utilities. What might be wrong?

Running a batch file causes it to spawn its own process, which doesn't affect the powershell environment. For a workaround, see: How to call batch script from Powershell?
