How can I convert this part of a VB-Script to a working powershell command?

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
            Set objNameSpace = objOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
            Set objFolder = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalender)
			
			dtTwoWeeks = DateAdd("d", +14, date)
            dtNextDay  = DateAdd("d", +1, date)
			strRestriction = "[Start] >= '" & dtNextDay & "' AND [Start] <= '" & dtTwoWeeks & "'" & "AND [IsRecurring] = False"

            Set MyItems = objFolder.Items.Restrict(strRestriction)	
			MyItems.Sort("[Start]")

            For Each CurrentAppointment in MyItems

    VBA and PowerShell are completely different, there is nothing to "convert", you have to rewrite to code from skretch.

    I asked ChatGPT.I do not guarantee results.

    # Create Outlook application object
    $objOutlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
    $objNamespace = $objOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
    $objFolder = $objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(2) # Numeric value for olFolderCalendar is 2
    
    # Get date for two weeks later
    $dtTwoWeeks = (Get-Date).AddDays(14).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
    # Get date for the next day
    $dtNextDay = (Get-Date).AddDays(1).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
    # Set the search criteria
    $strRestriction = "[Start] >= '$dtNextDay' AND [Start] <= '$dtTwoWeeks' AND [IsRecurring] = False"
    
    # Get search results
    $MyItems = $objFolder.Items.Restrict($strRestriction)
    # Sort by start date
    $MyItems.Sort("[Start]")
    
    # Process the search results
    foreach ($CurrentAppointment in $MyItems) {
        # Add your code here using $CurrentAppointment for processing
    }
