Powershell 9.4.8.0

For help on loading the RDM CmdLet without first running it through RDM have a look at:
http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?powershell_cmdlets.htm

The RDM-CmdLet only load in x86. Are you running PowerShell x86?
You can check with:
[environment]::Is64BitProcess

As for the warning "...imported command names contain one..." you can ignore it.
Or you can use Add-PsSnapin instead of Import-Module it won't give you the warning.

Regards,

A different Error this time bringing a dependency error:
PS D:\> [environment]::Is64BitProcess
True

RDM CmdLet will not load in 64-bit, use the x86 version of PowerShell and all should be good.

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue with RDM 10.0.4.0. I manually register in the x86 PS window (this is 64-bit Win 7), and it looks like the transacted install completes, but the Remote.Desktop.Manager.10.0.4 part fails. Here's what I'm seeing:

Any ideas on where I can look?

Thanks,

Oh yeah... I tried using the $env variable from your PS help page ($env:windir\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil;installutil), but that failed right away for the same reason:

Try installing PS v4.0 (part of Windows Management Framework 4.0)

PS v4.0 runs in .Net 4.0 therefore should have no trouble loading the RDM CmdLet (FYI RDM v10 is in .Net 4.0)
Name Value

PSVersion 4.0
WSManStackVersion 3.0

PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0}

That did the trick! Thanks again for your awesome and very quick help!

Take care,

Mike
