Sapien 2018 does not find any of the VMWARE Powercli modules/Plugins.

I searched the forums and did not find an article that expains how to get Sapient to work with Powercli 5.5.

Please advise.

PowerShell Studio supports VMWare modules, but they must be in a discoverable location (in a PSModulePath folder).

1. Try refreshing PowerShell Studio's cmdlet cache:

If the module does not appear in the Object Browser:

or the module isn't in a PSModulePath, then you can use the CacheEditor to import the module.

Open CacheEditor:

Import Module:

Then press "Build" and exit the editor. The module should now appear on the list.
