5.3.1 wants the old Powershell with the snapin. 5.4+ wants PowerShell 6+ and does not use the snapin.

You might try debugging the error by adding the load balancer to the command line with 5.4+ so:

> bigipreport-5.4.1.ps1 myconfig.xml a-load-balancer-in-the-xml.example.com

Specify and IP if you use IPs, and a hostname if you use those. Whatever is in the xml.

Receive-Job is where the parent process is expecting json from a forked child and what it got is not valid json. Unfortunately, I've not figure out a good way to capture the errors and return them to the parent process.
