Cannot install anymore on Powershell 7.3 (MacOS Ventura)

[RFdeGroot]

SUMMARY

Install-WSMan does not work anymore in PowerShell 7.3. For some reason it does not find openssl 1.1 anymore.

MODULE VERSION

ModuleType Version    PreRelease Name                                ExportedCommands

OS / ENVIRONMENT

MacOS 13.0.1 Powershell 7.3 Architecture Apple Sillicon (M1)

Installed openssl with brew. get-WSManVersion Get-WSManVersion: libmi could not be loaded, make sure it and its dependencies are available Get-WSManVersion: libpsrpclient could not be loaded, make sure it and its dependencies are available

Importing the PSWSMan Module then running the Get-OpenSSLInfo function produces this:

WARNING: /usr/local/bin/pwsh is loading libcrypto in an unsafe way

Not sure if that helps in any way

I can confirm facing the same issue:

Me 3.

sudo pwsh -Command 'Install-WSMan'

/usr/local/opt/openssl@3

I've not looked into this as I'm trying to move away from omi itself and replace it with PSWSMan which is a pure C# library. If it's a simple fix I might be able to push through one more release but I do not want to spend much more time on a codebase I am trying to replace.

A brief look online tells me that this error might be coming from PSWSMan trying to load libcrypto.dylib without any major versions in the filename. You can run Install-WSMan -Verbose to try and get some more information about the install process. It might give some information as to why it's failing.

Thank you for your reply, would be great if you are able to push through one more release if it's relatively easy for you to fix. The -Verbose option doest not give me any information.

sudo pwsh -Command 'Install-WSMan -Verbose' /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3

Debugging this leads to a problem which, I think, might come from PowerShell 7.3 theInstall-WSMan cmdlet terminates after calling exec in Get-MacOSOpenSSL (line 166)

See experimental features https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/what-s-new-in-powershell-73?view=powershell-7.3

Replacing your internal exec in PSWSMan.psm1with psws_exec or something else resolves the issue and the script runs again.

see my (small) PR with that fix.

Thanks for the fix, will look at pushing it out sometime today.

Didn't have the chance to say thank you until now, but thank you so much for fixing it! Much appreciated! I use this almost every day for Azure / Exchange online management so I'm really glad it's working again!
