PS C:\> Import-Module AdmPwd.PS

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\AdmPwd.PS\A

dmPwd.PS.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime a

nd cannot be loaded.

At line:1 char:14

+ Import-Module <<<< AdmPwd.PS

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ( [import-Module], BadImageFormatException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.BadImageFormatException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

are you running a 32 bit powershell on a 64bit install, or vice versa?

are you running a 32-bit powershell on a 64-bit install

If you try to load the AwdPwd module from 32-bit PowerShell on a 64-bit Windows PC you should receive a slightly different error message.

 

PS C:\Windows\system32> Import-Module AdmPwd.PS
[color="#FF0000"]Import-Module : The specified module 'AdmPwd.PS' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module 
directory.
