I have a call with another user seeing this problem in the next hour and will let you know what we find.

I think we have gotten to the bottom of it. I have a new build here that resolved the issue for the other user. Can you please try to see if resolves it for you as well?

The build number is 922381443

It was installed but now the service will not start and when manually started this is the result.

I’ve gotten to the bottom of this error as well. This is the same issue that was causing the 1.5 → 2.0 upgrade. The MSI was failing to lay down certain files during upgrades for some reason.

I’ve published a new nightly to resolve this.

https://imsreleases.blob.core.windows.net/universal-nightly/925085083/PowerShellUniversal.2.0.3.msi

This build should also successfully upgrade from 1.5.x to 2.0.x

@adam Thanks for the quick response with this. Confirmed 5.1 is working on 2.0.3.

Thanks again,
