I made a fresh SP 2013 installation on win 2008 R2 SP1. When access SP Mgmt Shell, I am getting the following error - "Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in'Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell' is not installed on this machine".

As far as SharePoint is concerned, site and central admin are working fine. How do I fix this issue ? Do I need to add thing to Path variable ?

    If you run "Get-PSSnapin | select name" is the SharePoint module listed? If it is, can you open an elevated PowerShell, and run "add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell" does it load without the error?

Try to run this in a powershell window to install the .dll, seems something has messed up your installation:

 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil /LogToConsole=true C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell\v4.0_15.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell.dll

(just copy paste the whole thing in to the window and click Enter)
