    Thank you. I didn't think to try that. Good to know. I am sure others may find this helpful.

    Yes V2 and earlier Net/PowerShell does not dynamically load type. My best guess is that MS PS Team decided to always load [System.__ComObject] or they have used it in PS init so it is now always loaded.

    You can use [object] instead. That type works for anything and will not alter the underlying object.
