Can I use powershell to do this?

I am looking for a way to automate the following scenario.

I have a server running Visual Basic and a couple of clients running Visual Studio (C++) that talk to the server. I want to use powershell to open the Visual Basic program on the server, load a project and run/start the project. After a successful start, I would like the same script or a separate script to contact the client workstations, open Visual Studio, load a file and execute. 

Can any version of Powershell do this?

Thanks
