PowerShell Add-On Fails

Hi Orhan,

Can you do $PSVersionTable after the installation failed, I think it's a version problem.

If the value of CLRVersion is not 4. You need to modify powershell.exe.config in C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 (32bits) and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 (64 bits) if the file doesn't exist create one with the name powershell.exe.config.

Copy and paste this in the config file:

<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
Best regards,

Thanks Olivier. That worked.

Now i am running into separate issue. when i tried to load the snap-in from the RDM menu tools it works fine but when i tried to load the snap-ins from regular powershell window with the command specified in the documentation:

Get-PSSnapin -Name *Remote.Desktop* -Registered | % { Write-Host "$_..." -NoNewline; if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name $_ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { Write-Host "installing" -ForegroundColor Yellow; Add-PsSnapin $_ } else { Write-Host "already installed" -ForegroundColor Green; } }

for some reason the snap-in does not get loaded. is there any other way to get this working?

thank you.

Hi,

You need install the snap-in first, you can use this code to install it:

set-alias installutil "$([System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::GetRuntimeDirectory())installutil.exe" ;installutil ' [i][b]InstallPath [/b][/i]\RemoteDesktopManager.PowerShell.dll';Get-PSSnapin -Name *Remote.Desktop* -Registered | % { Write-Host "$_..." -NoNewline; if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name $_ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { Write-Host "installing" -ForegroundColor Yellow; Add-PsSnapin $_ } else { Write-Host "already installed" -ForegroundColor Green; } }
This will install and load the snap-in. Don't forget to change the "InstallPath" to where RDM is installed on your computer.

After you installed it once, you should be able to use this code to load the snap-in when you want to use it or you can add it to your PowerShell profile:

Get-PSSnapin -Name *Remote.Desktop* -Registered | % { Write-Host "$_..." -NoNewline; if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name $_ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null ) { Write-Host "installing" -ForegroundColor Yellow; Add-PsSnapin $_ } else { Write-Host "already installed" -ForegroundColor Green; } }
Best regards,
