PowerShell 1.0 is required according to the Hardware and Software Requirements for SQL Server 2008 R2. If you're running this on an old version of Windows, you'll probably need quite a few other updates.

PowerShell 2.0 is the current release and will provide expanded functionality for SQL Server. You can download it from this page: PS2 Download
