Manually adding the BizTalk Powershell Provider extension

After trying a gazillion times to install the BizTalk powershell adapter (without errors) and being unable to uninstall it. I was forced to look for alternate solutions.

I came up with the idea of manually registering the extension based upon the installed Dll's.

And it worked like a charm:

 

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\BizTalkFactory PowerShell Provider> 

set-alias installutil $env:windir\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installutil

installutil .\BizTalkFactory.PowerShell.Extensions.dll

Add-PSSnapin -Name BizTalkFactory.PowerShell.Extensions

get-PSsnapin -registered

expected result :

Name        : BizTalkFactory.PowerShell.Extensions
PSVersion   : 2.0
Description : Windows PowerShell CmdLets and Provider for Microsoft Biztalk Serv

 

Addition : Elevated priveledges is not the issue. But it's definently worth trying before anything else, if you tend to forget it from time to time like I do ;)

Hi Michael,

I'm one of the coauthor of the PowerShell Provider for BizTalk and would be interested in working to find a solution to your installation/uninstallation problem.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this.

Could you, by any chance, mail me some more details so that we could provide a real solution to this ?

Hi Michael

Have you tried to install the Powershell provider in elevated mode (run as administrator)? We have seen the same error when this is not done like that.
