I have written a C# code to call the Powershell and execute the commands. Requirement for me is to add a snap-in provided by VMware(VMware.View.Broker)and start using their PowerCLI commands in the PowerShell console. It is a web application developed in Windows XP and deployed in Windows Server 2008 R2(64 bits). When I started test with the PowerShell commands , in initial stage it started working with 32 bits PowerShell. Then after few days it started working with 64 bits powershell I guess. How I come to this notion is, VMware snapin is registered in 32 bits powershell not in 64 bits. So whenever I execute the get-pssnapin -registered command it is not listing the VMware snapin. However, When I do the same in 32 bits PowerShell manually listing includes VMware snapin. Due to this issue I am not able to add the snapin from my C# application.

I have below queries for which I could not find answers after so much of surfing.
Is this invoking 64 bits PowerShell?
if yes how this got changed suddenly?
What should be done to make this invoke right powershell?

Please this is an urgent requirement for me. I would really grateful if someone help me out with this issue.

Eagerly waiting for some positive response.Thanks in advance.

Haroon.
