New-WPFMessageBox : The term 'New-WPFMessageBox' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I know I'm a bit late here, as I'm sure you've figured your issue out, already.
However, I thought I'd respond anyways, just in case you haven't found your answer and you're still looking for one.
There's also the possibility that someone else might stumble upon this page while looking for the same answer to the same or a similar problem, etc.

With that being said, what you need to do is Import the Script/Function, using the following Command.
Import-Module -Name "C:\Path\To\Script\New-WPFMessageBox.ps1"

I hope this helps someone, out there.
Feel free to reach-out to me, if you have additional Questions.

please tell me how to add a link to the message, so that some word in the message is a clickable link to the site? and also how do I add a countdown timer to the message so that it is visible?
