In the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft PowerShell, PowerShell script failing at destinations?

We moved the DS from a Windows Box to a Unix box and since then, the Powershell scripts have been failing at the Windows Destinations.

The Destination Host is running on Windows 2008 R2 hence we are using Powershell 2.

The following is the error code that we are receiving :

Error = Unable to initialize modular input "powershell2" defined inside the app "SA-ModularInput-Powershell";Introspecting Scheme=powersgell2:Unable to run "D:UniversalForwarder\etc\apps\SA-ModularInput-Powershell\windows_x86_63\bin\powershell2.exe --scheme"; exited with Code -1

The script is working fine as we have not made any changes to it after moving from a Windows Box
