Answer 1

Although you obviously resolved the issue with the steps included in the answer, this problem can also occur if you have a version of PowerShell that is not compatible with the assembly you are trying to load.

For example, you may have an assembly targeting .NET framework 4.5.1, but the PowerShell version you are running is version 2.0. If you upgrade the version to 4.0 or 5.0, you should have no issue.
