I'm seeing the same issue since updating to 0.7 this morning. Win 8.1 & PS 4, e.g.
ERROR: Method invocation failed because [System.Random] does not contain a method
ERROR: named 'new'.
At C:\Users\USERNAME.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.PowerShell-0.7.0\scripts\Star
t-EditorServices.ps1:103 char:1

• $rand = [System.Random]::new()

Also includes several others e.g.:
ERROR: Method invocation failed because [System.Random] does not contain a method
ERROR: named 'new'.
ERROR: Method invocation failed because [System.Version] does not contain a method
ERROR: named 'new'.
ERROR: Method invocation failed because [System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener] does not
ERROR: contain a method named 'new'.

I'll just add that I'm seeing the same issue on Win7x64 (PowerShell v3).

Hi guys, thanks for the report! There's definitely an issue on older Windows systems, I'll try to ship an update early next week to address this.

In the meantime you can remove the installed PowerShell extension and download one of the older releases from our releases page. Just extract the previous release package into $HOME\.vscode\extensions and restart VS Code.

Just shipped a new release with a fix for this issue! Let me know if it resolves everything for you.
