Loading an assembly required for interactive user authentication failed

[regbac]

Hi, I ran into a problem that you might be able to help me with. When I run the script (PowerShell ISE, stand alone or VS 2015) I get the following error : Exception calling “AcquireToken” with “4” argument(s): “Loading an assembly required for interactive user authentication
failed. Make sure assembly ‘Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.WindowsForms, Version=2.11.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’ exist
Any suggestions on how to fix it, I’ve tried downloading it, installing it in the GAC but still without any success ?

Hi RegBac,
Did you download the assembly included in thegit repository?

Please try to use the module published in PowerShell Gallery you only need to run this on PowerShell ISE:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Install-Module powerbips

Import-Module powerbips

$authToken = Get-PBIAuthToken

$authToken

Just tried it in a clean PC and worked fine.

Please confirm also that you have .Net 4.5 and that you have .net 4 in powershell_ise.exe.config:

Thanks

Hi Rui,

thanks for the quick answer.
My powershell_ise.exe.config looks like that :

I am running windows 10 and can therefore not install as is part of the
operating system (so it says when trying to install it)
Running the script you sent yields the same error :

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Install-Module powerbips

Import-Module powerbips

$authToken = Get-PBIAuthToken

$authToken
Get-PBIAuthToken : Exception calling "AcquireToken" with "4" argument(s):
"Loading an assembly required for interactive user authentication
failed. Make sure assembly
'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.WindowsForms,
Version=2.11.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' exists"
At line:7 char:14

• $authToken = Get-PBIAuthToken

•          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Régis,

Noticed the repository was missing the dll "Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.WindowsForms.dll", just included it.

Please try now.

PS - If you used the PowerShellGallery version (Install-Module) the dll was included and it should work.

Cheers
