Provider installation
When I try to install the DellBIOSProvider on new computers, I cannot import the module DellBIOSProvider.dll. I always receive the error:
VERBOSE: Performing InitializeDefaultDrives operation on the 'DellSmbiosprov'provider.
import-module : Could not load file or assembly 'DSMBLibWrapper.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be
found.
At C:\Program Files\Dell\PowerShell\Modules\DellBIOSProvider\DellBIOSProvider-installer.ps1:65 char:2
+ import-module .\DellBIOSProvider.psd1 -Verbose
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Import-Module], FileNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NewDriveProviderException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand
Can you tell me what's wrong? I successfully installed it on already configured computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 but it always failed on out-of-the-box computers.
On the one I am working on, I installed both VC2010 C++ runtimes (x64 then x6) but it don't help.
Any clue will be appreciated.

Hi Tarun,
thanks for your feedback, that solved it! :-)
Meanwhile, it took so long until my question had been reviewed, I found this solution, too. ;-)
But nevertheless, thank you for your help, and the 'validation' of this solution.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Hi,
I have a similar problem with import-module command. I receive an error about PS-Drive not installed. The install continues though.
It's a Dell Latitude E7450 with Windows 7 64bit installed. VC++ 2010, 2012 and 2013 runtime modules are installed.
On another machine which is a OptiPlex 9020 with Windows 7 64bit and VC++ 2010 and 2013 installed I was able to run the import-module command with no problem PS-Drive is there, although VC2012 is not installed
So I have a few questions:
- Is VC++ 2012 required when VC++ 2013 is installed?
- Why cannot the module load PS-Drive? Is it caused from the VC++ runtimes?
Thanks,
Edy
