Hello,
I have a server(w2k16) that is used in prod and I cannot use the nuget package for installation. :
Using this post
https://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2018/01/powercli-offline-installation-walkthrough.html
I have attempted to do an offline install
- Download zip https://code.vmware.com/web/tool/12.0.0/vmware-powercli
- extract zip and place in $pshomeModules – for PRD that was – PS C:Windowssystem32> C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0Modules
- Run PS as admin
When I try to connect to my vCenter the autocomplete works, but I get this error.
PS C:Windowssystem32> Connect-VIServer 10.x.x.x
Connect-VIServer : The ‘Connect-VIServer’ command was found in the module ‘VMware.VimAutomation.Core’, but the module
could not be loaded. For more information, run ‘Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core’.
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-VIServer 10.x.x.x
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Connect-VIServer:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule
So I ran:
PS C:Windowssystem32> Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core
Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly
‘file:///C:Windowssystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0ModulesVMware.Vimnet45InternalVimService50.Wcf.dll’ or one of
its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Import-Module], FileLoadException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FormatXmlUpdateException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand
For reference:
$PSVersionTable
Name Value
—- —–
PSVersion 5.1.14393.3866

CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000

Is this the right process and where should I go from here?
