Set-SCPItem : Could not load file or assembly 'Renci.SshNet, Version=2017.0.0.0

[dkirby-ms]

We are installing Posh-SSH from gallery using Install-Module Posh-SSH and hitting this error when using Set-SCPItem. This has been working fine for months until this week we started seeing this. When I check the version of the Renci.SshNet.dll in the assembly path it shows version 2020 not 2017.

`PS C:\ArcBox> Get-InstalledModule -Name Posh-SSH

Version Name Repository Description

3.0.2 Posh-SSH PSGallery Provide SSH and SCP functionality for executing commands against remote hosts.

Try import-module posh-ssh -verbose, it looks like you have other version somewhere. And please try to search for renci dll across drive c:

[dkirby-ms]

I searched across C drive and it turns up in WinSxS but nowhere else. C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_renci.sshnet_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.20348.1_none_5d0b9d71a320ef64\Renci.SshNet.dll

cant seems to replicate it but if possible try removing the current version and install 3.0.1, on what version of Windows are you having the issue, currently testing on Windows 11

[darkoperator]

just pushed a new binary, try version 3.0.4

[dkirby-ms]

Did you mean 3.0.3? Not seeing a 3.0.4

[dkirby-ms]

I can confirm 3.0.3 resolves the issue. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

[darkoperator]

Yes, sorry for the typo
