Powershell error : $NavIde was not correctly set.

cyuwono

Has anyone came a cross this "$NavIde was not correctly set." error when when executing any functions on NavModelTools.ps1 through powershell ISE ? I think I missed a step or two but I don't know what that step is. When running the same function using the "Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 Development Shell" shortcut I did not get this error.

I would appreciate if someone can help me with this.

The Import-Module line is not correct.
Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\80\RoleTailored Client\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.psd1' -WarningAction SilentlyContinue | out-null
It should be Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Model.Tools.psd1 at the end of the path. The WarningAction parameter is not required, but it suppresses the warnings that would show up otherwise.

If you want to avoid the fuss of typing that in, try this:

or run
. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RoleTailored Client\NavModelTools.ps1' -NavIde 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\90\RoleTailored Client\finsql.exe'

Run ISE as admin, type the Set-executionpolicy there, "Bypass" is somewhat dangerous, "RemoteSigned" is usually sufficient. Confirm the message that pops up. Do this both for the 64bit and 32bit (x86) version, but once is enough for all eternity on your system. Close the ISE admin session.
Then run ISE again, but NOT as admin. Then run your script starting with the Import-Module line here.

Hi Kowa thanks for the suggestion. I followed your steps but I am still getting the same error I also tried on two different computer both gave me the same error.
