Install Error - Service Fabric Runtime without powershell.exe in path

[jason-ha]

Repeated installs to 6.4.658 failed on one system. On another system, install went fine.

Based on other issues I cd'ed to directory with MicrosoftServiceFabric.6.4.658.9590.exe as admin and ran MicrosoftServiceFabric.6.4.658.9590.exe /AcceptEula. Result was that powershell.exe was not found. Not sure what gets powershell in path or not, but that was the difference on two systems and why install worked or didn't.

Powershell is indeed required for the runtime install to work.

Powershell is listed as a pre-req: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-cluster-standalone-deployment-preparation#prepare-the-machines-that-will-serve-as-nodes

@peterpogorski / @anantshankar17 / @raunakpandya though it seems like the local SDK install should be flagging this and either failing gracefully or pulling in the dependency?

How did you know this was a powershell missing issue? Was it from attempted run of "C:\WINDOWS\sysnative\cmd.exe". I get the same messages. I have dropped powershell.exe in windows/system32 but I still see the same issue and logs. What am I missing?

Exact memory is not there, but I think the message when trying to run MicrosoftServiceFabric.6.4.658.9590.exe /AcceptEula must have been clear. I would not put powershell.exe in a particular location. Instead add that location to your general PATH environment variable.

Thanks for responding. Powershell's location is in PATH variable. My Service Runtime 7.x install fails and subsequently Service Fabric SDK install also fails. The Service Fabric Runtime .exe run fails with:
