It fails on the Could not compare “1.5.2.2” to “2.1.1.2 1.5.2.2”. Error: “Cannot convert the “System.Object” value of type
“System.Object” to type “System.Version”.”

I do not need to install this module on my remote computers correct?

Any ideas?

 

Thank you

 

Tom

Modules and functions have to exist on the computer where scripts are executed, on loaded on the session they are to be executed on.

When you did the remove, did you actually hard validate that all the bits were removed?
There is a -force parameter that can be used on installs and uninstalls.

Got it to sorta work

I had to delete the folders from c:\program files\windowspowershell\modulespswindoesupdate I removed them all and ran this

Install-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -RequiredVersion 2.0.0.4

Have to do that on all machines

I tried these two
