Create x64 agent so the correct version of PowerShell is run
In order to run PowerShell correctly on x64 Windows OS I have to remember to use c:\windows\sysnative\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe. This should be transparent to me, and will probably fix a large number of issues through the userbase for people who are running PowerShell scripts on x64 and x32 machines. It'll work for the x32 machines, but not for the x64 machines. It can't be THAT hard...

Please create the x64 binaries so we don't have to use workarounds that are prone to so many errors.

Writing powershell scripts via Online Shell Script would be so much more elegant than having to issue the sysnative/windows/power... command for each line in the program

Online Shell Scripts are always 32bit on 64bit Windows because of the agent's 32bit build. It's currently very tricky when using this for PowerShell scripts (Online Shell Scripts) because certain cmdlets aren't available and we can't choose to use the sysnative one. Having to use workarounds isn't cool...
