cmd with Powershell issue

if i run my command in PowerShell all works fine. But if i run it in cmd it doesn't work.

Background: i will create a batch that works on every system that mounts an iso and then runs an exe that needs that iso. i wanna use a batch instead of a ps1 cause i am not familiar with ps1 signing and if it runs on all systems without issues.

For PowerShell Mount-DiskImage ((Get-Item -Path ".\" -Verbose).FullName+"\data.iso")

For cmd PowerShell Mount-DiskImage ((Get-Item -Path ".\" -Verbose).FullName+"\data.iso")

error:

Die Zeichenfolge hat kein Abschlusszeichen: ".
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString

You have to enclose your command(s) in curly brackets, prefix it with an ampersand (&) to execute it and wrap that by quotes:

PowerShell "& {Mount-DiskImage ((Get-Item -Path .\ -Verbose).FullName+"\data.iso")}"

You can read more about how to call PowerShell with command line options here.

The \ escape can cause problems with quoted directory paths that contain a trailing backslash because the closing quote " at the end of the line will be escaped \".

To save a directory path with a trailing backslash (\) requires adding a second backslash to 'escape the escape' so for example instead of "C:\My Docs\" use "C:\My Docs\\"
