building with Jenkins

attempting to build with Jenkins I get this error.

Currently DSC supported only in x64 PowerShell, so x86 PowerShell doesn't have DSC-specific cmdlets, like Get-DscResource.

As @vors mentioned, this isn't a problem with the tooling modules. Jenkins just needs to be running the 64-bit version of PowerShell in order to work. I believe there are sometimes a couple of quirks with having a 32-bit process launch 64-bit PowerShell (which the chef client also runs into), such as still resolving some file and registry paths to the 32-bit locations, but at least it allows you to use DSC.
