2 problems with powercli

[Squigglymonkey]

One of our Vcenters was  upgraded to 7.0. I can connect to it with a browser just fine.
When I try to connect to it via powershell, I get 
"Connect-viserver : Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I found a article about having an older version causing this, so I unistalled powercli modules and then powercli. I ran Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI. When I run get-powercliversion, it shows 12.0.0  I tried uninstalling again. Downloaded 12.7 dropped it all in my documents/windowspowershell/modules folder. still shows 12.0....
What in the world do I need to do to get 12.7?

What does it return when you do

Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable

Below will be what is there rght before running (again)  these commands to uninstall powercli. I guess it did not remove it from all locations, as it's still there.

(Get-Module VMware.PowerCLI -ListAvailable).RequiredModules | Uninstall-Module -Force

Get-Module VMware.PowerCLI -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module -Force

Script     12.6.0.... VMware.CloudServices

Script     7.0.3.1... VMware.DeployAutomation

Script     7.0.3.1... VMware.ImageBuilder

Manifest   12.7.0.... VMware.PowerCLI

That definitely is PowerCLI 12.7

When I check the version I get this.

   VMware PowerCLI 12.0.0 build 15947286

I'm not sure if that cmdlet still works correctly.
The better way is to use the Get-Module cmdlet I showed earlier.

Do you see more than 1 set of PowerCLI folders being returned by the Get-Module cmdlet?
I mean in different folders?

Update: I just tested the Get-PowerCLIVersion cmdlet and for me it returns the correct version (12.7)
So I suspect you might have multiple PowerCLI installations.
Which folders are listed when you do that Get-Module?

After running the uninstall a couple more times, and it erroring on some 12.0 files saying they were in use. I manually deleted all the vmware folders in the module directory. I copied over my downloaded 12.7 folders and I can now connect to the 7.0 vsphere. EDIT... Get-powercliversion also returns 12.7
