Uninstall 32-bit PowerShell on 64-bit platform??

Hi, I have a Windows 2003 Server R2, Standard 64-bit Edition, SP2, with Exchange 2007 installed.

This has both 32-bit PowerShell and 64-bit PowerShell. I am executing Exchange Management Shell cmdlets from managed code, from a COM+ Application built for "any CPU".

I get the "No Windows PowerShell Snap-ins are available for version 1" error, indicating the 64-bit Exchange Management Shell snap-in Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin cannot be loaded into 32-bit PowerShell. Attempting to run EMS cmdlets in both version verifies that 64-bit works, and 32-bit returns the above error.

How do I uninstall 32-bit PowerShell? There seems no way to specify in managed code to load the snap-in in 64-bit PowerShell. My only other course of action is to remove 32-bit and hope it finds the 64-bit PowerShell.

This seems like a massive oversight with PowerShell. Surely there are many people out there who need to load 64-bit snap-ins and get the same error on a 64-bit machine.

Thanks
