Hi,All:

i am trying to call the powershell to do something on Exchange12 and Exchange14, and the environment as belows:

the OS is 64bit.
32bit and 64bit powershell are both installed.
Exchange14 is installed.

And i try to call 64bit powershell to do something on Exchange14, and the codes like:

but everytime the codes will call 32bit powershell and throw one exception with the error message:
Add-PSSnapin : No Windows PowerShell Snap-ins are available for version 2
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
using System.Management.Automation

RunspaceConfiguration rc = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
PSSnapInInfo info = null;

//"Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010" is point to Exchange14
info = rc.AddPSSnapIn("Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010", out warning);
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

By the way, i manually start 64bit powershell, and execute the cmdlet:
"Add-PsSnapin microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.E2010" sucessfully, and have the same error using the 32bit powershell.

So could you please tell me how can i call the 64bit powershell and with the 32bit and 64bit are both installed.Thank you very much!
