Hi,

VMware does not longer provide Setups for installing PowerCli.

If you want to use the latest version of the PowerCli you have to install the modules from a NuGet Repository. This requires at least Version 5 of the powershell.

The following steps installs the latest Version

Install the latest NuGet Client

PS D:\> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

Looking for PowerCli Modules

PS D:\> Find-module *vmware*

Version    Name
-------    ----
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Core
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Common
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Cis.Core
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Vds
6.5.4.7... VMware.VimAutomation.HA
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.License
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Srm
6.5.2.7... VMware.ImageBuilder
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.vROps
10.0.0.... VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud
10.0.0.... VMware.PowerCLI
...

The Module VMware.PowerCLI is a “meta” module which installs all VMware Modules

PS D:\> Install-Module VMware.PowerCLI

To get a list of all installed modules

PS D:\>  Get-InstalledModule

and load the required modules

PS D:\> Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core
PS D:\> Connect-VIServer -?
