Creating SSIS Folder with PowerShell 2.0 - ssis

Question

I'm looking for an information that might look simple to get but i can't put my hands on it.
I wanna create a folder in a SSISDB catalog through a Powershell script, but I get an error saying that Powershell can't load assemblies : Microsoft.sqlserver.BatchParser and Microsoft.sqlserver.BatchParserClient, even though they are present in C:\Windows\Assembly.
But actually I suspect that PowerShell is running with a too old version, which is 2.0. Can anyone confirm that we can can create SSIS catalog folder with a 2.0 Powershell version ?
Thanks for you help

Since no code was provided, it's terribly challenging to debug why it isn't working. However, this code is what I use as part of my ispac deployment.
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices") | Out-Null
#this allows the debug messages to be shown
$DebugPreference = "Continue"
# Retrieves a Integration Services CatalogFolder object
# Creates one if not found
Function Get-CatalogFolder
{
param
(
[string] $folderName
, [string] $folderDescription
, [string] $serverName = "localhost\dev2012"
)
$connectionString = [String]::Format("Data Source={0};Initial Catalog=msdb;Integrated Security=SSPI;", $serverName)
$connection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection($connectionString)
$integrationServices = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.IntegrationServices($connection)
# The one, the only SSISDB catalog
$catalog = $integrationServices.Catalogs["SSISDB"]
$catalogFolder = $catalog.Folders[$folderName]
if (-not $catalogFolder)
{
Write-Debug([System.string]::Format("Creating folder {0}", $folderName))
$catalogFolder = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.CatalogFolder($catalog, $folderName, $folderDescription)
$catalogFolder.Create()
}
else
{
$catalogFolder.Description = $folderDescription
$catalogFolder.Alter()
Write-Debug([System.string]::Format("Existing folder {0}", $folderName))
}
return $catalogFolder
}
$folderName = "ProdSupport HR export"
$folderDescription = "Prod deployment check"
$serverName = "localhost\dev2012"
$catalogFolder = Get-CatalogFolder $folderName $folderDescription $serverName
There may be more graceful ways of doing this within PowerShell but this gets the job done. Logically reading the above code
Create a SqlClient connection to the server in question
Instantiate the IntegrationServices class
Point it at the actual catalog (assumes it has already been created)
Test whether the folder already exists
If the folder does not exist, create it
If the folder exists, update the description
