Execute batch file(in turn executes exe) from powershell

Question

I am trying to execute a install activeMq service from powershell, for which I am trying to call a batch file (which inturn calls the wrapper.exe) using:

& "C:\apache-activemq-5.6.0\bin\win64\InstallService.bat"

I am getting '"wrapper.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,or batch file'

But when I execute InstallService.bat from command prompt I am able to run the service

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, Anandh
