I know for the v1 version they are in program file\etc\reference assemblies\powershell…. but where are they for the v2 ctp3 version. I specifically looking for the new System.Management.Automation.dll

    On my 32 bit XP system

    
Get-ChildItem \ -Recurse -Include System.Management.Automation.dll | 
 ForEach-Object {$.DirectoryName,$($.VersionInfo.FileVersion)}

    reveals:

    
   C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
6.0.6000.16386
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Management.Automation\1.0.0.0__31bf3856ad364e35
6.1.6949.0

    Looking at the FileVersion reveals that the one in the GAC is the version you're looking for. But since it's in the GAC you don't need to worry about it, just reference it and than use it.
