Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces

[fullenw1]

I have this error only on PowerShell Core and not on Windows PowerShell 5.1
It was working fine until the latest release...

Import-Module: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.

Here is my PowerShell configuration:

PS> $psversionTable

I confirm, we face the same issue on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.

Tested with

• Posh-SSH v 3.1.1

When you look at the $error what does the loadexception says? Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 4, 2024, at 6:12 AM, DuyHai DOAN ***@***.***> wrote: I confirm, we face the same issue FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'.

Here is my test code

Write-Host "*** Installing Posh SSH Module 3.1.2 ***"
Install-Module -Name Posh-SSH -Force -RequiredVersion 3.1.2
Write-Host "*** Import Posh SSH Module ***"
try {
  Import-Module Posh-SSH
} catch {
  Write-Host "error = $($Error | Out-String)"
}

And here is the display

*** Installing Posh SSH Module 3.1.2 ***

I unlisted the module. It seems the last SSH.Net update added a dependency, so I can make it only work with one or the other at the moment. sshnet/SSH.NET#1287

[Rob-Hague]

(I know nothing about powershell modules) Is it possible to package Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll alongside Renci.SshNet.dll?

Will you do a new release for the fix ?

I did and I get error’s depending on the version of .net used still trying to figure what broken with this latest nugget Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 4, 2024, at 8:01 AM, Rob Hague ***@***.***> wrote: (I know nothing about powershell modules) Is it possible to package Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll alongside Renci.SshNet.dll? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you commented.Message ID: ***@***.***>

If I can fix it, seems the dependency messes stuff up when running under .ner standard 2.0

I copied the files straight from the .Netstandard 2.0 nugget for the library it will not even let me load it by hand

[Rob-Hague]

Where is Renci.SshNet.dll and SshNet.Security.Cryptography.dll? Should Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll be alongside those?

[darkoperator]

The HResult is 0x80131621 which has a few results on google, including pnp/powershell#1814

Perhaps there is some conflict somewhere. Does this show anything?
