getting registry key not found error for VS 2019 community #12

Closed eric10k93 closed 3 years ago

eric10k93 commented 3 years ago

after importing and attempting to run the "Get" command, I am getting a "registry key not found" error generated from the script... are there any known scenarios that would cause this to happen?

I'm running this on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. Strangely, I ran this script just fine maybe 6 months ago.

No idea, this shouldn't happen. Try running this and copy-paste output here:

try { Get-VSCELicenseExpirationDate } catch { $Error[0] | Format-List -Property * -Force ; $Error[0] | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100 }

I'm an idiot and I apologize for being a bother...

I just realized I'm running an older version of the script and was trying to use the parameterless call. Now that I take a second look at the error, I'm realizing it won't work because I'm not passing the version... that just wasn't supported with the script I was running.
