Error message when connecting to PowerShell Remote session

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you send us the Windows version you are currently using? You can get the information with the winver command.

It's possible that the Windows Terminal isn't supported on your Windows version.

Best regards,

OS is Windows 11 v23H2

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

It seems that the RDM installation you are using is missing the 'C:\Program Files\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\runtimes\win-x64\native\jetify.dll' file.

Could you try to repair your RDM installation or try with a portable installation?

Let us know if that helps.

Best regards,

portable installation has exactly the same problem, pointing to missing file in portable folder. And looking into folder, the mentioned file exists

The same file exists in installed version folder

did update to version 2025.3.22 . The error still exists.

Here is more detailed error description from PowerShell (result of Get-Error cmdlet):

The abovementioned error occurs inside the remote session. And there is no Remote Desktop Manager installed on remote machine. The code visible above is first command in remote session history (visible as result of Get-History -id 1)

And that code does not run in remote PowerShell 5.1 session, because in remote session, the variable PSEdition is not initialized and the type [System.Runtime.InteropServices.NativeLibrary] does not exist.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm still unable to reproduce this issue. Do you have an antivirus that could block the usage of this file?

I'll ask our QA team to try to reproduce the issue you are experiencing.

Thank you for being so patient.

Best regards,

The .dll is searched for in PowerShell remote session. And that machine does not have RDM installed. So the error message is expected. But i don't understand, why that .dll is searched in remote machine. Or even more, why the scriptblock visible above is at all started in remote session.

The error only occurs when connecting to remote session for PowerShell 7 (configurationName PowerShell.7.*). But command history in remote session contains same command in remote PowerShell 5.1 session too.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Our QA team has successfully reproduced the issue. A ticket has been submitted to the development team.

We will post it here once a fix is available

Thank you for being so patient.

Best regards,

Hello,

A fix for this issue has been implemented and will be available in version 2025.3.24.0.
