PowershellScript Error : Couldn't resolve assembly by name Microsoft.IIS.PowerShell.Framework

[unnic_arcanane]

Hi,

The following powershell script works fine from a console. But failing when invoked as a deferred custom action from InstallShield.

Import-Module WebAdministration
$thumb = Get-ChildItem -Path iis:\sslbindings | ? {$_.Port -eq 443} | Select -expand Thumbprint
$cert = get-item cert:\LocalMachine\my\$thumb
Export-Certificate -Type CERT -Cert $cert -FilePath "c:\temp\Cert-DER.cer"

Tried with setting IS_PS_EXECUTIONPOLICY as RemoteSigned/ByPass but always getting the following error.

MSI (s) (68:58) [01:29:37:331]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=GenerateBase64Cert,ActionType=1025,Source=BinaryData,Target=m2,)

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Added this line:
Add-Type -assembly "Microsoft.IIS.PowerShell.Framework"

But, Still getting the same error like this:

While InstallShield deferred custom action the throws this error(in the previous post) in the installation log, the same power-shell script works fine from a power-shell console.

When the same power-shell script is executed using LaunchAppAndWait(), I got a different error in the console. Please have a look at the attached document.

Looks like the InstallSHield's Powershell console is having different behavior.

Thanks
