Description

I just installed the current release of powershell core 6. I am running into this problem just trying to install the powershell community extensions. Seems like something is wrong with my environment, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot.

I sincerely appreciate any help.

@pwm1234 The cmdlet is not in the repo. Please report to https://github.com/OneGet/oneget.

GitHub

OneGet/oneget

PackageManagement (aka OneGet) is a package manager for Windows - OneGet/oneget

Sorry, but I still need help. I am not sure what to report to oneget. This seems to be a powershell core problem. get-packageprovider seems to be installed:

PS C:\Users\e27290> gcm get-packageprovider

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Cmdlet          Get-PackageProvider                                1.0.0.1    PackageManagement

But when I run it, I get this error:

PS C:\Users\e27290> get-packageprovider
get-packageprovider : Unhandled Exception - Message:'The type initializer for 'Microsoft.PackageManagement.Internal.Utility.Plugin.DynamicType' threw an exception.'

This seems to be a powershell core problem not a oneget problem. (I do not have these problems with powershell.)

@pwm1234 We need to find root of the issue so OneGet repo is best place to start.
