Snapin won't install on Windows Server 2016 #57
Comments
Note that PowerShell has separate registration for 32-bit and 64-bit shells. I don't know what Cortana has to do with this. Are you sure that error is related to the snapin not showing up? |
Nope, just a time correlation (on two separate installs). I'll try installutil.exe and report back. |
Fixed, thank you. Can that be added to the installer? |
That's what the installer does. I don't know why it failed on your system. If you want to spend more time on this, you could collect the installation log by following these steps:

The problem maybe due to the installer not using the .NET 4.0 InstallUtil folder. The installer allows installation to .NET 4.0 only, but will only run installutil.exe if .NET 3.5 is installed which is not installed by default on Win10 or WS2016. Product.wxs contains the following. Possible solutions: Stop installer from running if .NET 3.5 is not installed (not preferred) or use v4.0.30319 InstallUtil.exe instead of v2.0.50727 and require .NET 4+. |
I posted a prerelease with this change. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases/tag/v2.3.98-beta Thanks, @cabjas01 ! |
No error message during the install, but after the snapin is not available. Application event log logged this error:
Source: App
Description: Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI failed with error: This app can't be activated by the Built-in Administrator. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
Attempted to register the dll manually using regsvr32, and got this error:
The module "SwisPowerShell.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that "SwisPowerShell.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
