SDK v2.0 : New-AzureRmResourceGroup : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication'

[whilke]

Looks like a new SDK version just hit, getting this error on several different OS versions:

New-AzureRmResourceGroup : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime.Azure.Authentication,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation

@whilke How did you install the SDK? This is likely a version mismatch between installed SDK versions, can you execute Get-Module -ListAvailable when this occurs?

[whilke]

@markcowl came in via the normal web platform installer channel. Seems to have installed a build that was released just today though it lists an update date of 7/11.

(Get-Module -ListAvailable | Where-Object{ $_.Name -eq 'Azure' })

I have the same error. On several machines update through web platform installer, that doesn't list this as a new release

[whilke]

Anyone have a link to the 1.6 (previous version) installer? Our deployment system is down currently because of this issue.

[sjkp]

You can download if from the release page https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases/tag/v1.6.0-July2016

I'm facing the same issue, when I downgrade to version 1.6 it works fine.

I can confirm downgrade to v1.6 works, as commented by @guibirow

Just to add an extra information, when updated to V2, the following error happens:

Command

Login-AzureRmAccount
Set-AzureRmCurrentStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $TemplateResourceGroup -Name $TemplateStorageAccount

We have a root cause for the issue. A hotfix will be forthcoming.

[markvsql]

Will this hotfix apply to Azure Automation as well? I am getting this error trying to create a Resource Group with a Powershell Workflow runbook after upgrading several Powershell Modules in Azure Automation to their latest version.

[markcowl]

Yes, we will push out new installers and new modules.

[markcowl]

Meanwhile, we have delisted the AzureRM and Azure modules and pulled back the msi update. Individual modules have not been delisted.
