I get an error when I try to run PowerShell:

Internal Windows PowerShell error. Loading managed Windows PowerShell failed with error 80070002.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). This error occurs whether I start PowerShell from the command line or from the start menu shortcut. Running as administrator does not solve the issue either.

How do I fix this problem, so that I can use PowerShell?

Have you tried reinstalling powershell? This sounds like a corrupted install.

There is no way to reinstall PowerShell on Windows 7. – emddudley Nov 19 '11 at 20:13
I'm sorry. I thought you're using Windows XP... my fault. – wullxz Nov 19 '11 at 20:55

I used my laptop's system recovery feature to reinstall Windows, and then I was able to use PowerShell just fine.
