  • I can't repro this. I have added a reference to Sys.Mngmnt.Automation from the Program Files\Reference Assemblies\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 dir, built a small test app and it compiles and runs fine on VS2010 Beta 2.

  • Could you post your .csproj file for the project?

I have had all sorts of issues with System.Management.Automation over time. I recently hit it again and decided to find an alternative way to run PowerShell from .NET using a batch file. See this blog post for code samples: http://www.nootn.com.au/2013/01/run-powershell-from-net-program-without.html

This also mentions how to get System.Management.Automation working; I.e. install a windows SDK and hack the csproject file so it has:

<Reference Include="System.Management.Automation" />

I hope this helps solve your issue or work around it!
