cannot find Vmware.* modules 6.5 after upgrading powershell to 5.1

[tdubb123]

powershell ISE cannot find the powercli modules after upgrading powershell to 5.1 from 3

any idea?

get-module -listavailable

does not show anything from vmware

also tried running

& 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1'

but I am still not seeing the powercli modules in ISE

PowerCLI 6.5, are you still using the MSI file to install PowerCLI?

What is in $env:PSModulePath?

That should contain the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\ if you are still using the MSI

Ok I restarted ISE and its loading the modules now.

however even thought I have powercli 6.5 installed, not sure why I am seeing 10.1.0 version

[LucD]

Is PowerCLI 6.5 still listed in Programs and Features?

Can you uninstall it?

It looks as if you have PowerCLI 10.1.0 installed.

Do

Get-Module VMware* -ListAvailable | Select Name,Version

Oh my, the 6.0.0.0 in there seems to indicate that have you have some pre-gallery modules left.

Are you sure there is no VMware PowerCLI entry left in Programs and Features?

If there is, uninstall that.

Next start deleting all the files.

Note that these can be in multiple folders.

Do a 'get-module vmware* -ListAvailable', the folders are listed at the top of each block.

When that is done, do a fresh install of PowerCLI with 'Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI'

[tdubb123]

this is from get-powercliversion

[tdubb123]

I am in an offline (no internet) environment. I have uninstalled powercli from add/remove programs

here is what I have now

[tdubb123]

also removed the modules folder from

c:\programs files(x86)\vmware\infrastructure\powercli

[LucD]

You also have to remove the PowerCLI modules from the other folders.

You can check all the folders that are listed in $env:PSModulePath.

Do you have a station with Internet connectivity?

On there you can do a Save-MOdule, and then copy the files to the other station.
