Scripts fail with error that Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Internal.Strings.dll is unavailable when "Microsoft Service Fabric" is installed

After upgrading to the latest tools, runtime and SDK (5.5.216.0), PowerShell scripts, such as TestConfiguration.ps1, fail with an error that Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Internal.Strings.dll version 5.0.0.0 can't be found. As soon as I deinstall 'Microsoft Service Fabric' from the control panel, it works just fine. This behavior seems very similar to the Newtonsoft.Json.dll issue that was resolved in 5.5.216.0, just with a different assembly this time around.

Is this a known issue?

It quickly gets tedious to have to uninstall 'Microsoft Service Fabric' when I run certain scripts and then have to install it again for others that require it.

Example of error:

PS C:\git\sf-admin\DeploymentScripts\Microsoft.Azure.ServiceFabric.WindowsServer> .\TestConfiguration.ps1 ..\ClusterConfig.Production.Shared.json Trace folder doesn't exist. Creating trace folder: C:\git\sf-admin\DeploymentScripts\Microsoft.Azure.ServiceFabric.WindowsServer\DeploymentTraces Running Best Practices Analyzer... Standalone package dependent files not found. Check package structure. Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Internal.Strings, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or on e of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Internal.Strings, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' at Microsoft.ServiceFabric.ClusterManagementCommon.ValidatorExtensions.ThrowValidationExceptionIfNull[T](T parameter, String parameterName) at Microsoft.ServiceFabric.DeploymentManager.BPA.BestPracticesAnalyzer.IsJsonConfigModelValid(StandAloneInstallerJsonModelBase config)

Thanks, Hans

I believe you're getting that error due to the SDK/Runtime installing dll's to the GAC which are being picked up.

Try running moving your Microsoft.Azure.ServiceFabric.WindowsServer folder to another machine and running TestConfiguration.ps1 again.

If you're running the scripts from a box without internet access then you'll need to specify the location of the .cab which contains the runtime

-FabricRuntimePackagePath C:\temp\Microsoft.Azure.ServiceFabric.WindowsServer.5.5.216.0\MicrosoftAzureServiceFabric5.5.216.0.cab
