I found that the below set of commands worked.

$datastoreName = 'enter_name_of_datastore'

$ds = Get-Datastore -Name $datastoreName

New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name DS -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\' | Out-Null

Get-ChildItem -Path DS:\ISO -Include *.iso -Recurse | Select Name,FolderPath

Remove-PSDrive -Name DS -Confirm:$false

I think you'll need to do something more like: 

dir vmstore:\datacentername\datastorename -Recurse -Include *.iso | Select Name, FolderPath
