C# remote (exchange)powershell

Question

i made a while back an console application(in c#) which does a few powershell commands. i connect to the (exchange)powershell with remote powershell. but when the application runs;

RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(connectioninfo)

i get the following exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

the only thing i cannot figure out is why it was working before perfectly. i searched my solution, nowhere i could find a reference to that dll. i also searched my c# drive it was nowhere to be found either. i restored my solution from my backup of 2-3 months old and the same error. Can someone give me some pointers to what is going wrong?

Answer 1

Found the problem. apparently something is wrong on my computer(I'm guessing after installing the Beta of VS11)

anyhow, after using the project on a different machine where VS2010 is installed it worked just fine.

Answer 2

The error message is misleading.

I had got the error, as I used the reference to the System.Management.Automation.dll Version 3.0.0.0 (which means PowerShell 3.0).

The issue is, the Exchange Server 2007/2010 isn't compatible with PowerShell 3.0, so you must bind the reference to the System.Management.Automation.dll version 1.0.0.0 (Windows PowerShell 2.0).
