The VSS object was in an incorrect state for the requested operation

[jegannathanmaniganadan]

Hello,

I have been experimenting VSS backup for SQL storage on iSCSI disk. I am looking to leverage AlphaVSS library for that. Things are fine when I use the sample project provided here, but it did not work when I use the nuget package with my own .NET class library. In fact I am trying the same code provided in the sample project.

I am basically looking forward to write a library that can freeze the given volume(s) for few seconds, so that I can take backup of those volume. Technically, I just re-invented whats provided in https://github.com/alphaleonis/AlphaVSS-Samples/blob/develop/src/VssBackup/VssBackup.cs

With that, I am facing the following problem when I pass something to Setup('C:\')

# $b = [Demo.VssBackup]::new()
# $b.Setup('C:\local\demo.txt')
Exception calling "Setup" with "1" argument(s): "The VSS object was in an incorrect state for the requested operation."
At line:1 char:1
+ $b.Setup('C:\local\demo.txt')
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VssBadStateException

Note that I added the assembly into my powershell session to do this. FWIW, it just works with the sample project as I mentioned earlier. Although I do not know how to confirm whether the sample project works too. It just did not fail, hence assumed.
