VBR 13's Veeam PowerShell module expects PowerShell 7, but the scheduled
task ran powershell.exe (Windows PowerShell 5.1).
- The installer finds a machine-wide pwsh.exe (Program Files, then
PATH, or -PwshPath), checks it reports major version 7+, and rejects
Microsoft Store installs, which SYSTEM can't run. All checks run
before anything is changed
- The scheduled task and printed next steps use that pwsh.exe

PowerShell script for the VBR server, run as a SYSTEM scheduled task.
Each run reports every Get-VBRJob job's next scheduled run and any
sessions from the lookback window (default 48h) not yet delivered in
their final state; running sessions are resent until they finish.
- Session result maps to success/warning/failed; non-Stopped states
report as running; message combines the session reason, objects that
didn't succeed, and warning/error lines from the session log
- Delivered sessions are tracked in a state file; failures are retried
next run, and a rejected API key stops the run immediately
- Install-VeeamCollector.ps1 writes an ACL-restricted config, copies
the script to Program Files and registers the task
- tests/MockVeeam.ps1 provides stand-in cmdlets for testing without VBR
