Unable to find type [ordered]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

Folks,

I'm trying to run a Powershell script which used the ordered list, but somehow it failed on my Windows 7 laptop with the below error message:

Unable to find type [ordered]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

I'm using PowerGUI to execute all powershell and the below is the output of the versions:

Code:

gci 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP' | sort pschildname -des | foreach-object {$_.name; $_.GetValue("Version");}

Open in new window

Result:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4

I'm sure that I have installed the .NET Framework 4.0 (Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64-MultiPkg.msu) but somehow the code is still stuck with no chance to get it running for the first time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yeah, I know:

---- -----
PSVersion 2.0

But I cannot install the powershell 3.0 because it would break my Exchange Server management console in my Windows 7.

I have already installed the Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64-MultiPkg.msu, but somehow it is still showing as PS version 2.0

what can I do to run it under PS 4.0 ?

Exchange Server 2010, for all types of server deployment including workstation with Exchange Management Console.

So I'm skipping .NET Fx 3.0 but somehow I still don;t understand as to why I cannot use or install .NET Fx 4.0 ?

I have rebooted my laptop couple of times already but it is still showing as PS 2.0 not yet 4.0 ?

Ok, after installing the .NET Fx 4.5.2 NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe, now my Exchange management console broke with the following error:

Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 because of the following error: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.Globals' threw an exception.

as per this website: http://www.powershellserver.com/powershell-server-cannot-load-windows-powershell-snap-in-microsoft-exchange-management-powershell-e2010/

it says I have to uninstall the .NET Fx
