I have done these following steps to make it work for me. I hope you can do the same with PowerShell too.

Install Vagrant and Vagrant VMware Plugins
Install Packer
Install VMware Workstation Pro
Download the Metasploitable3 github repository as zip
Extract the Metasploitable-Master zip where you want to put your machine
Run administrative command prompt and go to metasploitable3-master
Run the following commands

C:\Windows\system32>cd \Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3

C:\Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3>dir Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is CE73-3024

Directory of C:\Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3

C:\Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3>vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop This process will pull the vmware image from internet box repository If both box are downloaded successfully move to next step

C:\Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3>vagrant up This will start the vagrant box

C:\Users\mustb\Documents\Virtual Machines\Mabl3>vagrant provision This will provision the virtual machine

Now, Open VMware Workstation Open virtual machine inside the metasploitable3-master.vagrant\machines\win2k8 or ub1404\vmware_desktop\45a3b355-f450-4e0d-83f2-18f5bea2ad60 (some random folder)\metasploitable3-win2k8.vmx

Export the virtual machine as OVA if you like or make a copy

Do same for Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine as well
