Azure AD module runtime version error

[petben]

Trying to run the Windows Azure AD Module for Powershell (so I can manage 365 from powershell) but getting error:

 

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Windows\system32\Wi

ndowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\MSOnline\Microsoft.Online.Administration.Automatio

n.PSModule.dll' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime

newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.

 

I have .net 4.5.1 installed, .net 3.5 feature installed and Powershell 2. which is apparently all you need.

 

Any ideas?

Have you installed the azure ad powershell module?

yes it is installed but running it gives the error.

I also have installed 'Online services sign-in assistant (msoidcli_64.msi)'

[Marshall_IT]

It's sounds like a possible corrupt installation, have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the aad ps module?

to me that looks like the powershell version you are running, more specifically version 2, if you type powershell -version 3 or powershell -version 4 does it launch? if not that you are missing the management framework for these versions and you need to install "http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40855"

 

PowerShell Version 2 will not allow you to launch the .DLL required
