Import-Module WebAdministration wont load from script but does from command line
iis-7.5, powershell, web-administration
Solution
In the end there was a problem something, possibly chocolatey?, was truncating `$env:PSModulePath` to the first entry, this is why the script was working if I typed it in but not in the script.
I found it by logging `$env:PSModulePath` at different points in the scripts that I was running.
I worked around it by reordering the entries in `$env:PSModulePath`.
Have a look at @Richard's answer for some other good suggestions.
Problem
I'm coming onto a project that uses `PowerShell` to script the build. The build makes use of the `WebAdministration` module to manage the local IIS instance. When I run the build script the following error is thrown when trying to import `WebAdministration`. Error: 06/29/2016 17:28:35: At C:\dev\src\nib-ravendb\build\ConfigureIis.ps1:10 char:1 + Import-Module WebAdministration + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ [<<==>>] Exception: The specified module 'WebAdministration' was not loaded because no valid module file was fo und in any module directory. ERROR: 1 How ever when I run `Import-Module WebAdministration` at the `PowerShell` command line the module is imported and I can use features from it. Subsequently running the build script still fails. I have `IIS 7.5` and `PowerShell 4` Does anyone have an idea why this import would be failing in the script but not at the command line, and how to fix it?
