ImportExcel 7.8.7 cannot be imported, fails with loading of EPPlus.dll assembly

[FH-Inway]

When importing the 7.8.7 version of ImportExcel, an error occurs:

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\VssAdministrator\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ImportExcel\7.8.7\EPPlus.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Tested with the following commands on Windows 11 (locally) and Windows Server 2022 (Azure DevOps pipeline running on windows-latest agent).

Install-Module ImportExcel
Import-Module ImportExcel

Installing and importing version 7.8.6 works.

Not sure which change since 7.8.6 caused that error.

got the same issue too. I've reverted back to 7.8.6 also.

We are hitting the same as we always use the latest available version.

If you compare the file list of https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ImportExcel/7.8.7 with https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ImportExcel/7.8.6 you see that almost all files are missing. Something seems to have gone wrong with publishing 7.8.7 to PSGallery.

Do you have any ETA when this issue is going to be fixed? As this is breaking automations which requires a module and this module as a submodule.

Looking at it now

I bumped the version to 7.8.8. Re-published. The file list looks good now.

Please check.

Confirmed - new version has fixed this issue in our automations. Thanks!

Strange, I published the 7.8.7

I go thru a process of:

• Removing ImportExcel locally
• Installing from the PowerShell Gallery
• Do a smoke test

It all worked.

Thanks for the quick fix, can confirm, it is working again.
