For PowerShell 7

Run pwsh.exe -NoExit -Command &{new-item -path c:\ -name logfiles -itemtype directory}

For Windows PowerShell

Run PowerShell.exe -NoExit -Command &{new-item -path c:\ -name logfiles -itemtype directory}

-NoExit to keep the terminal open other you may omit that part.

I personally used this method to ssh into a linux machine since none of the above worked for me (maybe I'm stupid) but here's my script.

#+t::
Run pwsh.exe -NoExit -Command &{ssh -p <Enter Port Number> <Username>@<IP Address>}
return

Win + Shift + T to launch

If you want to run a PowerShell script from ahk and it contains several lines and you don't want to use an external file, this is an example how do it:

AutoHotkey code:

psScript =
(
    param($param1, $param2)

    new-item -path $param1 -name logfiles -itemtype directory
    new-item -path $param2 -name logfiles -itemtype directory
    remove-item -path 'c:\temp'
    # etc, write any code, use this quotes for strings: '
    # if you need ", then write: \":
    $import = '[DllImport(\"ntdll.dll\")] public static extern int RtlAdjustPrivilege(ulong a, bool b, bool c, ref bool d);'
)

param1 = C:\temp
param2 = D:\temp

RunWait PowerShell.exe -Command &{%psScript%} '%param1%' '%param2%',, hide

; use this call if you want to see powershell output
Run PowerShell.exe -NoExit -Command &{%psScript%} '%param1%' '%param2%'

Try: 

Run, PowerShell "new-item -path c:\ -name logfiles -itemtype"

Seemed to work for me.

Edit based on newly provided information:

Command found @ http://exchangeserverpro.com/install-exchange-2013-pre-requisites-windows-server-2012/

Try: 

Run, PowerShell "Install-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation

PowerShell isn't necessary to solve this particular problem.

AutoHotKey has built-in functionality for creating directories: FileCreateDir

For example:

FileCreateDir, C:\logfiles
