Unable to add-pssnapin microsoft.exchange.management.powershell.admin to powershell studio script

Question

Running powershell v2 with exchange management console 2007 installed.

a powershell prompt shows the registered snapings:

PS P:\> get-pssnapin -registered | fl name
Name : Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin
Name : Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.Support

I can run exchange related commands from a powershell prompt, however, powershell studio 2012 doesnt seem to recognize the addin. In my _load method, I have

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Powershell.admin

But get this when I run the script:

ERROR: Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2.

Powershell studio is the trial version and running v2 as well.

Maybe some snappins do not load with the trial?

You problem may come from the fact that PrimalScript 2012 and PowerShell Studio 2012 are 32 bit executables.

Have you got the two modes allowed in PowerShell Studio 2012 ?
