Automation

Hello All,

I'm running Win7 64-bit. I've installed most recent versions of PowerCLI and VITools. When launching, it get the following.

WARNING: The following errors occurred when loading console C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1: Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in VMware.VimAutomation.Core because of the following error: Could not load type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Vim4PSSnapIn' from assembly 'VMware.VimAutomation, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Command '. "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Script s\Initialize-VIToolkitEnvironment.ps1"' could not be executed because some Windo ws PowerShell snap-ins did not load.

When trying to add VMWare.VimAutomation.Core, I get the following.

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI> add-pssnapin V MWare.VimAutomation.Core Add-PSSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in VMWare.VimAutomation.Core because of the following error: Could not load type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCo re.Cmdlets.Vim4PSSnapIn' from assembly 'VMware.VimAutomation, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Has anyone run into this and/or have ideas to resolve?

Thankyou.

What do you mean with "...PowerCLI and VITools..." ?

You should only install PowerCLI 4.1.

LucD,

I installed PowerCLI 4.1 and VMWare Infrastructure Toolkit 1.5. Can they not both be installed on the same box?

Thanks,

Justin

It can be confusing, but they changed the name "VI Toolkit" into "PowerCLI" from release 4 onwards.

In fact after VI Tooklkit 1.5 we got PowerCLI 4, this to keep the numbering in line with the vSphere family.

Thank you LucD.

I removed the VI Toolkit and it's working.
