PrimalToys Snap-In installation

Post by **sanic** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 4:58 am

I've tried following the instructions for "First Time Installation" of PrimalToys and after the last line "add-pssnapin primaltoys" I press Enter and get the >> prompt. What more does it need to complete the installation?

Um, that should be it. You're not typing the actual quotation marks are you?

Add-PSSnapIn primaltoys

Is all it should take. I had about 20 people in class do it this morning

. The >> prompt usually indicates that you've got an open quotation, or an open { block } or something.

No, I'm not typing in the quotes.
Is the command in the first bullet entered all on one line?
set-alias installutil $env:windir...

Yes, the first bullet (without the bullet character, of course) is all one line. And if you're on a 64-bit system you'll need to modify it, since the Framework is stored in a different path on x64 systems.

Thanks. I got it to work. Would it make a difference if the location for the DLL was on a networked drive and not my local HD? When I copied it to C, it installed OK.

Yes, the Framework won't register it if it's on a network drive. It needs to be local so that the Framework knows it isn't going to "go away."

Different issue with primaltoys snap-in installation:
The instruction document says to first "Copy PrimalToys.dll to a location on your computer."
Problem: I don't see the PrimalToys.dll file anywhere.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks.

The dll you are looking for is called PshX-SAPIEN.dll
The name was changed because it collided with
the PrimalToys COM components in PrimalScript.

I am getting an error when trying to install the pssnapin. I am running x64 Vista and changed the path to the .Net framework as I should and ran the installutil section and pointed to the DLL that I saved on my local HD. However, the error I get says "Windows PowerShell snap-in PshX-SAPIEN is not installed on this computer"

The version of the Dll I pointed to on my local HD is the one in the binrelease folder. Any help would be awesome.

Thanks,
