Cant install

[spuder]

Whenever I run the setupSnapIn.ps1 script it fails to install

PS C:\Users\sowen\Documents\f5-icontrol-powershell-snapin> .\setupSnapIn.ps1

It is complaining that iControlSnapin.dll is missing. Where do I get that dll?

I've followed the instructions here and unziped the file to c:\Program Files\F5 Networks\iControlSnapIn

The iControlSnapIn.dll is now present, however even after running ./setupSnapin.ps1, I still get this error:

PS C:\Program Files\F5 Networks\iControlSnapIn> Add-PSSnapin iControlSnapIn
Add-PSSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in iControlSnapIn because of the following error: Could
not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\F5 Networks\iControlSnapIn\iControlSnapIn.dll' or one of
its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

Following these instructions does not work. Still can't get the snap in working

Looks like I had to unblock the zip file before extracting

If you have performed the instructions as suggested above

and if you still get the error.

The most likely cause would be the permission to the below registry path to your current account. You will need to provide full control to the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns .

Upon having full control, then re run the setupSnapIn.ps1 and you should be all set to proceed further.
