Uninstall Microsoft Office 2010 - Powershell

I'm using the PDQ Offered Office 2010 uninstall. Works fantastic on most, however I'm seeing a few erroring out with "Package returned error code -65536" Inside the output log it says "Windows PowerShell terminated with the following error: The type initializer for'System.Management.Automation.Tracing.PSEtwLog' threw an exception.

Any ideas?

I've had this happen before, Powershell basically doesn't start. What fixed it for me was installing .Net 4.5 on that machine.

You are right! I checked and those PCs only have .NET 4. I've now added .NET 4.6.2 to run before running the uninstall!
