.NET Assembly Error After Upgrading to WinSCP 6.3
I’m suddenly getting an error running a PowerShell script with the .NET assembly. The script has been working flawlessly for almost a year, but after upgrading to WinSCP 6.3 today, I get this error when calling
$PSVersionTable:
The script reads the .NET assembly location from an environment variable, which I haven’t changed. Does the 6.3 .NET assembly need to be copied to that location, do I need to change the environment variable, or does the install process handle all that?
I tried copying WinSCPnet.dll from the netstandard2.0 folder up one level to the folder where WinSCP.exe is located, but that causes a different error:
So, I then downloaded WinSCP-6.3-Automation.zip, and extracted the WinSCPnet.dll from here into the WinSCP.exe directory. That took me back the original error message:
