Nimbostratuserror running add-pssnapin iControlSnapin
I need some help getting the powershell plugin to work. It was previously installed some months back but when i come to run it now i get errors.
My system specs are
XP sp3 x86
quad-core core2duo
4GB RAM
Am trying to run the command
add-pssnapin iControlSnapin
on my system but i keep getting this error message:
Add-PSSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell snap-in iControlSnapIn because of the following error: The Windows PowerShell snap-in module C:\Program Files\F5 networks\iControlSnapIn\iControlSnapIn.dll does not have required Windows PowerShell snap-in strong name iControlSnapIn, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.
At line:1 char:13

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (iControlSnapIn:String) [Add-PSSnapin], PSSnapInException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : AddPSSnapInRead,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand
I have re-installed the icontrol snapin but the error keeps occuring. What am i doing wrong and what do i need to do to fix it
Cheers

- Hi Andrew, I've just updated the installer to include the most recent iControl assembly (11.0.0). Once you run the installer, you'll need to re-run the setupSnapin.ps1 script to re-register the snapin's latest version in the powershell runtime configuration. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
mealies_60121Hey Joe
I downloaded the iControlSnapIn.msi file yesterday from the downloads section in this group( so i assume this is the latest file).
When i go to run setupsnapin.ps1 script it brings up the message Already registered
This occurs even after uninstalling the icontrolsnapin from Add/Remove programs and restarting the PC.
Do i need to go through and delete the registry entries?EDIT - i used your remove-Snapin function in the script to remove it before re-running . .\SetupSnapin.ps1
this time it re-registered and now the snapin is usable again.Thanks
Andrew
