SDK 1.8 Powershell snapin installation problem

lwri over 10 years ago

I have used SDK 1.6 earlier.

Now I have updated to 1.8 but I cannot load SWIS snapin.

On PowerShell I get following error when trying to perform Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin:

******************

Add-PSSnapin : Cannot load Windows PowerShell Snap-In swisSnapin because of the following error: The Windows PowerShell Snap-In module C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwisPowerShell.dll does not have required Windows PowerShell Snap-In strong name SwisPowerShell, Version=1.6.54.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.

******************

I also tried to install 1.8 to clean machine which didn't have 1.6, but error there is:

******************

Add-PSSnapin : The Windows PowerShell snap-in 'SwisSnapin' is not installed on this machine.

******************

Documentation says that snapin is automatically registered, but now it seems that that doesn't work.

It should have been registered by the installer, but apparently that didn't happen. You can do it manually as well: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86…

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwisPowerShell.dll"
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwisPowerShell.dll"
This registers it twice - once for 32-bit powershell and once for 64-bit powershell.
Edit March 26: Fix incorrect paths to InstallUtil.exe.

I installed Orion SDK 1.9 on Server 2012. While trying to add the snap-in in a script, I received an error that the snap-in was not registered. This did the trick!! Thank you! (Also, I ran the cmd.exe and the powershell script editor as administrator.)

Just bumped into this thread - very helpful indeed!
In my case, I've decided to install the SDK on a different path than the default one (D:\Solarwinds...),
and since it's a Windows 2016 Server, the microsoft.NET paths are a bit different.
I thought I should share the relevant paths here and save someone else the hassle in the same situation:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe "<SDK Installed Path>\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwisPowerShell.dll"
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe "<SDK Installed Path>\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwisPowerShell.dll"
* Note that "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework" has all .Net versions - so use the one relevant to you...
