Issue loading powercli snapin via workflow module
Hi
So I am trying to get vRealize Orchestrator running., and am trying to get it to run powershell commands via powershell host.
The powershell stuff works, and the demo "List directory content" workflow works fine.
I have a workflow that opens a session, then loads the VMware.VimAutomation.Core module via the addPSSnapin element.
when I do that I get the following error
PowerShellInvocationError: Errors found while executing script Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'VMware.VimAutomation.Core' is not installed on this computer. At line:1 char:1 + Add-PSSnapin -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (VMware.VimAutomation.Core:Stri ng) [Add-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Ad dPSSnapinCommand (Dynamic Script Module name : invokeCommand#15)
the powershell host is running Powershell version

When I add it manually it works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what the issue is?
Thanks

I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue with no success.
If I run a powershell command to list the installed modules, I can see all the powercli ones.
But the action element to add the pssnapin still fails with not installed.
