Describe the bug

We were successfully using netinventory with Windows GLPI agent 1.4 until now. I just upgraded to agent 1.7.1 on a server and now netinventory triggers a "Can't load XML::LibXML required library"

To reproduce

1. On Windows, install GLPI agent 1.7.1 (with netinventory installed)
2. Open a Powershell as admin
3. Run & "C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\perl\bin\glpi-agent.exe" "C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\perl\bin\glpi-netinventory" --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the host for which you want a SNMP inventory)

Error is triggered : Thread 1 terminated abnormally: Can't load XML::LibXML required library

Expected behavior

The XML of a SNMP inventory is expected 😃

Operating system

Windows

GLPI Agent version

1.7

GLPI version

10.0.x (See additional context below)

GLPIInventory plugin or FusionInventory for GLPI plugin version

No response

Additional context

Server runs on GLPI 10.0.7 but does'nt impact this issue (the bug occurs before we try to send anything to the server)

Hi @SylvieCoz

please don't run glpi-netinventory script this way.

Better use the BAT scripts provided in the glpi-agent installation folder. And if this doesn't work well under PS console, use a CMD console.

If you really need to run this way, consider glpi-agent.exe is indeed the perl binary and so you need to provide the Perl option to include GLPI-Agent library:

"C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\perl\bin\glpi-agent.exe" -I "C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\perl\agent" "C:\Program Files\GLPI-Agent\perl\bin\glpi-netinventory" --host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
