- Do you have PrimalScript 2017 installed on this machine as well? No
- Do you have this folder located on your machine? C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SAPIEN Debugger 2017 - No

In that case, one more follow up, can you provide the output for $PSVersionTable so I know exactly which version you're running?

I'm sorry for the delay Stng16, I'm still trying to find a fix for this issue.

Initially, it was thought you should only have to register the proper DLL's, however, it's apparent that isn't working. I've tried unregistering all previous versions of the DLL and manually registering the correct ones with no success as well.

As I get more information regarding this issue I'll post it here.

Hey Stng,

We've managed to find a workaround that is a bit of work but should get you up and running until we can find a more solid solution. To get this working, try the following steps:
  1. Install PowerShell Studio 2017
  2. Copy the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SAPIEN Debugger 2017\ folder to your desktop
  3. Uninstall PowerShell Studio 2017 and install PowerShell Studio 2016
  4. Copy the SAPIEN Debugger 2017 folder back to where it was initially located and make sure to replace any files if prompted (step 2)
  5. Launch PowerShell Studio 2016 and run a script
If you have any trouble when taking these steps, please let me know.

We've managed to find a stable fix that has worked on a few machines I've tested here at the office.

It involves modifying your registry so before continuing, please make sure to backup your system or the registry specifically in case something goes wrong.

After that, we need to delete a few keys from the Registry that reference the SAPIEN Debugger 2017 folder. I launched regedit from the Run dialog (Win + R) and then did a Ctrl + F for SAPIEN Debugger 2017.

Each entry came up in a path like so: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00DFED1F-5A55-4B77-8A05-D128D42EAC6E}\InprocServer32\4.9.73.0

The key that needs to be deleted is the {00DFED1F-5A55-4B77-8A05-D128D42EAC6E}. All of the entries we need to remove reside in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT so that makes it easier to verify that you're deleting the right keys if you're worried.

Here's a list of the registry entries I had to delete on one of my machines in order to fix this (NOTE: The value within the {} might be different on your machine):
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00DFED1F-5A55-4B77-8A05-D128D42EAC6E}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{23F85780-FD7B-31AD-BA4B-4863AE67BFD1}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F151623-5235-3CA5-B82D-AC878960E122}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{950808CE-3E2D-47B9-9DFE-4B9F763C7390}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BDCC23B8-3B09-3FFE-B9F3-8E2289339294}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{00DFED1F-5A55-4B77-8A05-D128D42EAC6E}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{23F85780-FD7B-31AD-BA4B-4863AE67BFD1}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{2F151623-5235-3CA5-B82D-AC878960E122}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{950808CE-3E2D-47B9-9DFE-4B9F763C7390}
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{BDCC23B8-3B09-3FFE-B9F3-8E2289339294}
Lastly, delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SAPIEN Debugger 2017 folder then launch RegisterControls which is located wherever you installed PowerShell Studio (C:\Program Files\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc\PowerShell Studio 2016 by default) and check the available versions.

At this point, you should be able to launch PowerShell Studio and it will run your scripts as expected.
