iControlSnapIn Problems
I'm at the end of my wits here, I've read through all the guides, followed each of them to a word, I've been through several uninstalls and restarts and I'm still nowhere near getting this snapin to ...

Thanks to DeniceJ for necromancing this thread, I would have forgotten about it if I didn't get the alert
Here's the code I've been using for the last few years to register the iControlSnapIn.dll and add the snap-in to the current session
$PSScriptRoot = Split-Path -Parent -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition $snapinPath = "$PSScriptRoot\f5-icontrol-powershell-snapin-12_1_0\iControlSnapIn.dll" $snapinName = "iControlSnapIn" if (Get-PSSnapIn -name $snapinName -ErrorAction Ignore) { Write-Output "Verified that '$snapinName' snap-in is currently registered to this session" } else { Write-Output "The '$snapinName' snap-in is not currently registered to this session, installing assembly for this snap-in from the following path now:`n$snapinPath" $installUtil = "$env:windir\Microsoft.Net\Framework${platform}\v2.0.50727\installUtil.exe"; if ( [System.IO.File]::Exists($installUtil) ) { Set-Alias installUtil $installUtil; installUtil $snapinPath /LogToConsole=false /LogFile=; } Write-Output "The '$snapinName' snap-in assembly has been registered, adding snap-in to this session now..." Add-PSSnapIn $snapinName Add F5 iControl Library Write-Output "The '$snapinName' snap-in has been added to this session, continuing...`n" }
Note that I store the f5-icontrol-powershell-snapin-12_1_0 folder which contains the iControlSnapIn.dll in my script directory, as the script needs to run from different machines that may not have any F5 software installed.

Yes, right-click PowerShell ISE and "Run As Administrator", then enter my admin account details when prompted
