I was having a problem with an automation script I was working on,
It used PowerShell and PowerShell community extensions (PSCX) and it worked fine of for me, but when other people used the same machine - it did not work.
after some looking around - the problem was that PSCX was installed from my user so it was automatically loaded on from my profile.
The resolution:
$pscxInstalled = $false;
$pscxLoaded = $false;
$registeredPSSnapins = Get-PSSnapin -registered
foreach ($registeredPSSnapin in $registeredPSSnapins) {
 if ($registeredPSSnapin.Name -eq 'Pscx') {
  write-host "PowerShell Community Extensions Found on system" -ForegroundColor green -BackgroundColor black
  $pscxInstalled=$true;
  $loadedPSSnapins = Get-PSSnapin 
  foreach ($loadedPSSnapin in $loadedPSSnapins) {
   if ($loadedPSSnapin.Name -eq 'Pscx') {
    $pscxLoaded=$true
    write-host "PowerShell Community Extensions are loaded" -ForegroundColor green -BackgroundColor black
   }
  }
  if (-not $pscxLoaded) {
   write-host "Loading PowerShell Community Extensions from registered PSSnapin" -ForegroundColor green -BackgroundColor black
   Add-PSSnapin Pscx
   
  }
 }
}
