It looks like VMware.VimAutomation.Vds uses ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, which is located in VMware.VimAutomation.Common\<version> folder. In 12.5, VMware.VimAutomation.Vds calls for ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=1.1.0.145, which is/was located in the VMware.VimAutomation.Common\12.5.0.19093563 folder.  The VMware.VimAutomation.Common-12.6.0.19600917 includes an updated version.  The 12.6 upgrade didn't upgrade the VMware.VimAutomation.Vds and it's still looking for the old dll, which no longer exists.   Win 10, PS 5.1.19041.1645 >>> PS C:\...> Export-VDSwitch -vdswitch vds1 Export-VDSwitch : 4/15/2022 13:01:26 Export-VDSwitch Could not load file or assembly 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=1.1.0.145, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b03e6acf1164f73' or one of its dependencies.
