Assembly.Load will not work if the assembly name is not a long form name. LoadWithPartialName should be used here instead. Or the name used should be System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

Assembly.Load seems working with short name too:
PS:1> [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("System.Management.Automation")
