[wix-users] Wrong Powershell version

[Edwin Castro]

The WixPSExtension looks at the PowerShellVersion value in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine key to
populate the POWERSHELLVERSION property.

On my system
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\3\PowerShellEngine shows
the correct expected version.

C:\> $PSVersionTable

Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      5.1.18362.145
PSEdition                      Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}

WSManStackVersion              3.0

SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1
