VMware.VimAutomation.Core path change in 6.5.1 #9

Closed jmegie closed 7 years ago

jmegie commented 7 years ago

Just downloaded the latest PowerCLI and ran into issues:

PowerCLI Version

VMware PowerCLI 6.5.1 build 5377412

Component Versions

VMware Cis Core PowerCLI Component 6.5 build 5374323 VMware VimAutomation Core PowerCLI Component 6.5 build 5374329

I manually modified $pcliDLL path in DRSRule.init.ps1 to fix the issue.

If new PowerCLI modules are installed to current user (via 6.5.1 user guide: Install-Module VMware.PowerCLI -Scope CurrentUser), then path is (for this build) $HOME\documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.VimAutomation.Core\6.5.1.5374329, if installing for all users it's Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.VimAutomation.Core\6.5.1.5374329

Obviously the version/build directory name will change with the new way PowerCLI/Modules are being delivered, so it might be best to get/store the version number in a variable in the path.

Hello, @jmegie -

Yes, thank you for opening an issue for this. @lucdekens also spotted this, and has mentioned some intention to rectify this. We'll get it fixed and released.

Made commit 56b7f52e2cf933196d8c117d624a96acf203f316 that updates code that determines the location of the referenced VMware.Vim.dll file, based on PowerCLI module version. Tested with PowerCLI 6.3, 6.5rel1, and 6.5.1, and with having installed v6.3 in a non-default location
