I'm attempting to run the xChrome sample (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/DSC-Resource-Kit-All-c449312d) on an Azure VM and it fails to run. Everything runs and executes, but I receive the error (larger log snippet below):
CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (MSFT_xChrome\MSFT_xChrome:String) [Configuration]
AzureVM is Windows Server 2012 with Powershell Version 5: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion
Major Minor Build Revision
5 0 9883 0
The steps I use to execute are:
- Download xChrome extension (from above url) and inflate it into my modules directory
- Publish-AzureVMDscConfiguration -ConfigurationPath C:\Users\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\xChrome\Example\Sample_xChrome.ps1 -Force
- Get-AzureVM -ServiceName '' -Name '' | Set-AzureVMDscExtension -ConfigurationArchive Sample_xChrome.ps1.zip -ConfigurationName Sample_InstallChromeBrowser -ConfigurationArgument @{Language='en';LocalPath='$env:SystemDrive\Windows\DtlDownloads\GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'} | Update-AzureVM
- **The error snippet:*
