I had a similar issue, then realised it was down to running PowerShell as an Administrator.

@anudeep574: Rather use a copy of the assembly dedicated for the script.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_powershell#install

Loading the DLL like below worked for me
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll"

Re: Add_Tyoe not working
Why do you instantiate the class via COM? The WinSCP .NET assembly is a native .NET assembly (as the name says). Instantiate the class directly, as all the examples show:

Or have the WinSCP GUI generate a code template for you:

Add_Tyoe not working
I unblocked the DLL and this is what I get when I attempt to run the PS1 script:
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll"
$sessionOptions = New-Object -ComObject WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
HostName = "myserver"
UserName = "myuser"
Password = "mypassword"
SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 fc:44:00:23:f2:8a:aa:00:64:f2:d8:36:4c:2e:6d:f1"
}
New-Object : Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {2D4EF368-EE80-4C15-AE77-D12AEAF4B00A} failed due to the following error:

Re: Add-type in Powershell not working
I found the correct syntax:
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll"

Add-Type in PowerShell not working
I have installed WinSCP v.5.7.7. in
This is a new Windows 2012R2 server. I need this to work as I have to convert all of my VBS scripts that call WinSCP to PowerShell scripts ASAP.
