PowerShell and TFS | The term 'tfpt' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Running locally on my client (not TFS server) Windows 10 pro workstation and getting the error. What am I missing?

Code sample below

# Enforce coding rules
Set-StrictMode -version 2.0

# Loads Windows PowerShell snap-in if not already loaded
 if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
 {
    Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
 }

$PbiParm = 89306  

# Get Iteration Path and PBI Title
$query = "SELECT [System.IterationPath], [System.Title] " + 
            "FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.Id] = " + $PbiParm

$TfsServer = "http://***tfs01:8080/tfs/Project"

$WorkItemResults =  tfpt query /format:tsv /collection:$TfsServer /wiql:$query
$WorkItemResults = $WorkItemResults -replace  "(.*)Query results:.*", ""

$WorkItemResults = $WorkItemResults.Split("`t")

$Index = 0
foreach($row in $WorkItemResults)
{
    $Index++

    Write-Host $Index

    if ($Index -eq 1 -or $Index -eq 2)
    {
        continue
    }

    if ($Index -eq 3)
    {
        $SprintName = $row
    }

    if ($Index -eq 4)
    {
        $PbiTitle = $row
    }

    if ($Index -eq 5)
    {
        break
    }
}

SOLVED!

Apparently TFPT Query engine 2010 uses some sort of old exe file that could only be found in

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MartinWoodward.TeamFoundationServerPowerToolsDecember2011

Step 1: run in ISE the following:

notepad $PROFILE

This will open your PowerShell profile script. If the file doesn’t exist, it will prompt you to create it.

Step 2: Add following lines (amke sure files do exist first if you using different version of VS!)

Set-Alias tfpt "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools\tfpt.exe"
