Trouble Installing PowerCLI

[tdhaslett]

Hi All,

I am having trouble installing PowerCLI. I have found a few threads where this problem has been brought up, but nothing I found has a conclusion.

I am running Windows 10 Pro x64 v1809.

Here is the cmdlet and the error that I am getting when running it:

install-module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -allowclobber PackageManagement\Install-Package : Unable to read file C:\Users\timh\AppData\Local\Temp\1457216093\VMware.VimAutomation.Core\net45\VMware Remote Console\gobject-2.0.dll to calculate its hash. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1:1809 char:21 + ...          $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters +                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Power....InstallPackage:Install    Package) [Install-Package], Exception     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnableToReadFileToHash,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.TestFil    eCatalogCommand,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

 

Here is the result with the -verbose switch

When I look at the subfolder in the Temp directory (1457216093 in this instance), it does not even have a VMware.VimAutomation.Core subdirectory. Everytime I have tried running this, the non-existant subdirectory is a different one.

Yes, I am running ISE as administrator. I also tried emptying the Temp folder before installing. I also tried turning off AV before running. I am selecting Yes to All when asked for permission. I have tried it in the regular Powershell (not ISE) as well. I am using the Windows version of Powershell and I tried both x64 and x86 versions.

Apparently, it is trying to read a file in a directory that the install did not create for some reason.

 

Please help!

Thanks!

Are you installing or upgrading PowerCLI?

From the log it looks as if you are upgrading.

Can you perhaps remove all current PowerCLI module folders.
Find which folders by doing

Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable

Once everything is removed, stop/start your PS session and do the Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI again.

[tdhaslett]

Thanks for your reply, LucD!

I was installing PowerCLI. Could it be appearing as an upgrade because I have tried the install several times?

I removed all of the directories, restarted Powershell and tried again, but I get the same error.

Now this is weird. I tried using Save-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -Path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowershell\Modules' and it appears to install, but the module is not listed when I run get-module. All of the directories appear to be there. I then restarted Powershell, ran my profile and ran get-module again. It was not listed, but the commands are working. I am now connected my vcsa.

I wonder if I will run into an issue at some point, though.

[LucD]

Yes, that's probably what happened.

Just to make sure, you did do Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable?
