Issue Description

When I start up VSCode the Powershell Language Server fails to load. There is an error message in the 'PowerShell Integrated Terminal" but it is erased before I can read it. I took a screenshot of this error (after many attempts) and attached in zip file. There is no useful error message in the logs, maybe this should be fixed (another bug report?).

Ahh! Sorry guys, I just realized what the problem is. You both need to upgrade to PowerShell 6.0.0-alpha.18 or higher. I’d recommend 6.0.0-beta.1. Once you install that version of PowerShell everything should start working.

Thanks for the info @AJDulk can you open a new issue (easier for us, to track) and attach the logs so we can get a better idea of what’s going on?
