[system.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]

Hi,

I've tried using the following in powershell to get a message box to pop up.

[system.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]:show("Creating Windows Account. Please
Wait..")

However I keep getting an error:

Unexpected token ':show' in expression or statement.


Anyone out there know what I did wrong?

thanks,
