Having issues with offline installation

This post was originally published on this site

Hello,

I have a server(w2k16) that is used in prod and I cannot use the nuget package for installation. :

Using this post

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

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