VeeamPSSnapIn not found
Hi,
I'm getting a similar issue to http://forums.veeam.com/powershell-f26/ ... t5870.html
Veeam B&R 8 update 1. Just installed the BPS_x64.msi from the ISO.
When trying to run some basic tests I get the following:
PS C:\Users\xxx> Get-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn
Get-PSSnapin : No Windows PowerShell snap-ins matching the pattern 'VeeamPSSnapIn' were found. Check the pattern and
then try the command again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-PSSnapin VeeamPSSnapIn
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (VeeamPSSnapIn:String) [Get-PSSnapin], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoPSSnapInsFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetPSSnapinCommand
The DLL Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.dll doesn't seem to exist in the Veeam installation directory @ c:\program files\Veeam\Backup and Replication so I can't register it manually.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the BPS_x64.msi from the ISO and selecting all features are installed locally but it hasn't made any difference.
Help appreciated.

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
Hi,
Finally tracked it down, it seems the directory they suggested it was located in in the previous thread wasn't quite accurate, it's actually in:
C:\Program Files\Veeam\Backup and Replication\Backup\Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.dll
So I try to register it manually and get the following error:
This is on Windows Server 2012 R2

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
Hi, James,
What happens if you instruct PowerShell to utilize a later version of the CLR? Will that help?
Thanks.

I had a quick browse of the guide but haven't actually attempted the instructions because:
Which should mean the 4.5 CLR is loaded? Version number ends in greater than 17000?

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
As far as I know, uselegacyv2runtimeactivationpolicy should be enabled and both 2.0.50727 and 4.0.30319 versions should be listed as supported runtimes. Those changes should be reflected in PS configuration file. But that's more like a first guess. Thanks.

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
It seems that the installation of snap-in went wrong, thus, the absence of it. Let support team review installation logs and find out the root cause of the described behaviour. Thanks.

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
Amazing how much BS there is about getting this to work and something like this is what it takes. Run the installer from the original media and then create a .REG file with this code and merge it with your registry. Thanks so much for posting this.spgsit5upport wrote:Simple reg file does it:

Re: VeeamPSSnapIn not found
Try to look for the correct path where the DLL file is located. Change the reg file accordingly and that should fix your issue.
