Failed to find 'Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices' assembly

Issue

The commandlet

Import-Module powerVault

fails with following exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa20f34aedd220e1' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Cause

When using powerVault 19.0.9 (or higher) and calling

Import-Module powerVault

the import fails because the powershell Host, which runs the powershell session does NOT implement or support the Write-Host Commandlet.

Solution 1

The current powershell Host has to implement the Write-Host function.

Solution 2

Overload the function by calling

function Write-Host{}

before calling

 Import-Module powerVault
