Easing back into Windows after a 3-4 year MacOS hiatus. Powershell has come a long way but I am running into some errors I can't figure out here.
Every article I see on installing the newer PowerCLI is rather simple. Use a package manager to download/install it and off you run. Not for me, I'm getting the following error when trying to run Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI:
PackageManagement\Install-Package : Unable to find dependent module(s) (VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core)
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\2.0.4\PSModule.psm1:9307 char:21
+ ... $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package #PSBoundParameters
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core:String) [Install-Package], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnableToFindDependencyPackage,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage
I have tried this on two Windows machines and even with Powershell Core on a Mac. Same issue every time. What am I missing and/or doing wrong?

I installed PSFramework on my W2k12 server. However when I run an import-module PSFramework I get the following error:
Exception calling "InvokeGlobal" with "0" argument(s): "Parameter count mismatch."
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\psframework\1.6.181\PSFramework.psm1:7348 char:2
+ $isInstalled = $provider.IsInstalledScript.InvokeGlobal()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TargetParameterCountException
This works fine on my Win 10 machine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jake.
I'm the maintainer of PSFramework, sorry about that fail!
One of my security-related feature updates broke PSv3 & PSv4 support, I didn't notice right away and then was drowned in heavy workload to fix it timely.
I've added an issue that you can track until it is resolved:
https://github.com/PowershellFrameworkCollective/psframework/issues/474
In the meantime, you can resolve this on your server by updating its PowerShell to v5.1 as Mathias suggested, which will resolve it right away.
I've upgraded to dotnet sdk version 3.1 and am trying to publish my powershell module. I am using powershell 5.1.
I run the command:
Publish-Module -Path "C:\sources\myModules\InstallationUtils\" -NuGetApiKey "xxxxxxx" -Repository internal.packages.org"
and get the error:

Is anyone have similar issues and managed to fix it?
thanks
I have a work around, which involves replacing the old version of version nuget.exe in
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PowerShellGet\
with the latest version of nuget.exe .
I found the work around on SQLDBAWithABeard but I am hoping that there is a better solution than this?
I'm experiencing problems when (re)installing modules in PowerShell (see Screenshot link below). It has worked before as the module is already installed.
Screenshot error
Already tried the following:
Set-ExecutionPolicy: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy?view=powershell-6
.Net Framework 4.7.2 is already installed: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Unable-to-Connect-with-Power-BI-Service-using-PowerShell/td-p/483356
Repository change: Unable to find repository on Update-Module
I'm out of ideas / Google results. Any suggestions/ideas that I can try? Many thanks in advance.

Seems like you have outdated version of PowerShellGet 1.0.0.1. Try this first (as admin) and then retry your update.
Update-Module PowerShellGet
Try running this
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
I'm trying to write some scripts for Azure Active Directory / Office online, and I'm completely unable to install the MSOnline powershell module. I've installed the Office Sign In Assistant version 7.2 (64-bit for my 64-bit machine). When I try to run the MSI installer for the PowerShell module, it says it can't find the sign in assistant. When I install the powershell module through PowerShellGet, and then run the commands, it fails with:
Connect-MsolService : The Microsoft Online Services Module is not configured properly. Please uninstall and then reinstall the module.

Is there any way to get this installed ? I've even changed the language of my system to US-English and installed the correct language pack (because I've run into issues before with things not installing correctly if the system language is not US English)
Found at least a partial answer here that worked (at least got the module working again for one of my accounts, the other one still fails and remains a mystery):
MSOnline can't be imported on PowerShell (Connect-MsolService error)
In my case, some registry keys were missing (I don't know why) and reinstalling didn't help. I imported the registry keys with one path adaption from another system and now it works. I used the following registry keys (just copy to a file powershell.reg, change InstallPath if necessary, and import):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSOnlinePowerShell]
"Version"="1.0.0"
"InstallPath"="c:\\Program Files\\WindowsPowerShell\\Modules\\MSOnline\\1.0\\"

I have app service in my environment named "Standard" . Currently the app service is configured in standard tier small 1 instance.
Using powershell I am trying to scale the app service which will in turn scale the web apps inside this app service.
I want to change size to Medium and instances to 2.
Here is my snippet.
Login-AzureRmAccount
Set-AzureRMAppServicePlan -Name Standard -ResourceGroupName
MyWebAppRG - NumberofWorkers 2 -WorkerSize Medium
When I run this command I am getting following error
Set-AzureRMAppServicePlan : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication, Version=0.11.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-AzureRMAppServicePlan], FileNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileNotFoundException,Microsoft.Azure.Commands.WebApps.Cmdlets.AppServicePlans.SetAzureAppSe
rvicePlanCmdlet
I am not sure, what's wrong here? and what exactly this error means.
For the information, I am able to run other powershell commands just fine,example set-AzureRMResource and others. so isn't an environment issue.
Any help appreciated..
Thanks
What version of the Azure Powershell are you using? This was a known issue in Azure Powershell 1.0.0. If you are using that version, use the version below instead. Do post back if you still see issues.
