Powershell cannot be instantiated

Post by boyddt_co »

I've got a very simple powershell form that runs within PrimalForm 2009. When I package it though it throws the errror "powershell cannot be instantiated". I am adding quest.activeroles.admanagement and I'm not sure if I need to do something special for that.Any ideas?David

Where ever you run the packaged exe, it must have PowerShellv2 installed. Are you running the packaged exe on the same machine you have PrimalForms 2009 installed? As for snapins you just have to make sure they are installed on the target machine. David

I'm running the executable from the same machine that I'm coding on.

What version of PrimalForms 2009 do you have installed and what OS are you running? Also include the version of PowerShell you have installed. David

Also please list the settings you are using to create the Packager: 32Bit or 64Bit etc. David

Try creating the Packager in 64Bit and see if it makes any difference. David

Zip the form file and the packaged exe to support@sapien.com and we will take a look at it. I also recommend testing the packager on another machine that has PowerShell v2 installed. David

David, I packaged the form on my production computer with the same results. Tried this that and other things and found out that if I remove the "Impersonate specified user" setting it would then run.Any thoughts?
