Because PowerCLI is based on PowerShell, I would upgrade PowerShell first. Although I am not sure if it matters.
ESX 4.1 is not mentioned in the VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1 Release Notes. That means it is not supported. In this case you may better keep PowerCLI 5.0. Or upgrade to PowerCLI 5.0.1 that you can download from http://www.vmware.com/downloads/download.do?downloadGroup=PCLI501.
PowerShell 2.0 is part the of the Windows Management Framework that you can download from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929.
You are also not using the latest PowerCLI version 5.1 Release 1. You can download PowerCLI from http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/server/vsphere/automationtools/powercli.

Windows Management Framework Core (WinRM 2.0 and Windows PowerShell 2.0)
WindowsServer2003-KB968930-x64-ENG.exe Download the Windows Management Framework Core for Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition package now.
While installing above windows update i.e. WindowsServer2003-KB968930-x64-ENG.exe , getting "Access is denied error", then to resolve the same i have done the following things

Hi Team ,
I need Power Cli for my VCenter version 6.7.
The latest version of VMware PowerCLI works with vCenter 6.7, see the interoperabiity matrix.
On an Internet connected station you can just do Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI.
