Get-AzureBatchPool fails by saying "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives, Version=1.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

Description

Get-AzureBatchPool fails by saying "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives, Version=1.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

Steps that I followed to install Az cmdlets:

1. Uninstalled the AzureRm modules on my machine completely.
2. Installed the Az cmdlets (as explained in here)
3. Enabled the AzureRm aliases (as explained in here).

This installation process installed the 1.1.0 Az.Batch module which contains 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.dll' with version 1.1.0-rtm-22752.

Exception Details:

Get-AzureBatchPool : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives, Version=1.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies. The 
system cannot find the file specified.

+ $ExisingPoolIDs = (Get-AzureBatchPool -BatchContext $context).Id
    + CategoryInfo          : CloseError: (:) [Get-AzBatchPool], FileNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Batch.GetBatchPoolCommand

Workarounds

1. Run the command: Install-Package 'Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives' -RequiredVersion 1.0.1.0.

2. Go to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Az.Batch\1.1.0 and delete the existing Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.dll .

3. Go to C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\NuGet\Packages\Microsoft.Extensions.Primitives.1.0.1 and copy the DLL from there. And paste the DLL into C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Az.Batch\1.1.0.

Steps to Reproduce

$context = Get-AzureRmBatchAccountKeys -AccountName yourbatchaccountname -ResourceGroupName yourresourcegroup
$ExisingPoolIDs = (Get-AzureBatchPool -BatchContext $context).Id

Is it a known issue? Is the fix for this already in place?

Can you do Uninstall-Module Az.Batch and then Install-Module Az.Batch -AllowPrerelease -RequiredVersion 1.0.1-preview -Repository PSGallery - This should fix this issue I believe.

Why closed this issue? This is still not the solution for us.
If this is a known issue or a breaking change, then it should be listed in the breaking changes list.

@matthchr , Running the command that you suggested, Install-Module Az.Batch -AllowPrerelease -RequiredVersion 1.0.1-preview -Repository PSGallery , it's giving me below error

Install-Module : Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'RequiredVersion'. Cannot convert value "1.0.1-preview" to type "System.Version". Error: "Input string was not in a correct 
format."

Kindly reopen this issue until we get the required solution.

Hello @avi1479,

This was closed due to the issue being believed to have a known fix. You will need to upgrade your PowerShellGet to allow Install-Module to recognize the -AllowPrerelease flag (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56327725/how-to-install-azure-az-cannot-convert-value-2-0-0-preview-to-type-system-v). I had the same issue you did when doing the command, but after upgrading and restarting PowerShell it worked properly.

@matthchr is following up with the PS team to get a 1.1.1-preview version released which applies the patch to the changes in 1.1.
