Microsoft Virtual Assistant Template deploy failure

Question

I'm attempting to deploy the Microsoft's botframework Virtual Assistant Template solution, but am getting a number of errors thrown when the deploy.ps1 PowerShell script is run. As the script output below shows, the errors stem from additional PowerShell scripts called by the deploy.ps1 script. Anyone seen this before and deal with it successfully?

Answer 1

There was no real "fix" to my issue, other than to repeat all the pre-req installation steps a few times.
