I'm calling from Visual Cron (7.0.8) using PowerShell option an PowerShell
script.

Script is correctly running from PowerShell IE on same machine and using same
credentials as Visual Cron does.

At time when I set-up Task in VC script had line like:
write-host -foregroundcolor green

Running the task I got error like:
Exception in Task: Exception setting "ForegroundColor": "Cannot convert null to type "System.ConsoleColor" due to enumeration values that are not valid. Specify one of the following enumeration values and try again. The possible enumeration values are "Black, DarkBlue, DarkGreen, DarkCyan, DarkRed, DarkMagenta, DarkYellow, Gray, DarkGray, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow, White".". Cannot convert null to type "System.ConsoleColor" due to enumeration values that are not valid. Specify one of the following enumeration values and try again. The possible enumeration values are "Black, DarkBlue, DarkGreen, DarkCyan, DarkRed, DarkMagenta, DarkYellow, Gray, DarkGray, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow, White".

I changed previous line into:
write-host -foregroundcolor [System.ConsoleColor]::Green

Still get SAME exception.

I deleted job/task and commented out that line , recreated job/task and same
error( Exception in Task: Exception setting "ForegroundColor": "Cannot convert null to type "System.ConsoleColor" due to enumeration values that are not valid. Specify one of the following enumeration values and try again. The possible enumeration values are "Black, DarkBlue,....)

During debugging session I found one another issue : line write-host "Test line"
also kills task in VC 7.0.8 when using PowerShell execute method.

Is there any document that list PowerShell bad list of statements to be used?

Thanks for the feedback. We do not have such a list but the host we use does not have any console so any interaction with that might fail.

Hello Henrik,

I'm using VC 7.0.9 and I'm able
to call PowerShell script that calls another PowerShell script ( I tested this up to 3 levels deep).

I have a script RunTask that from PowerShell successfully runs Job with 5 Tasks (using VC APIs
referencing yours dlls: VisualCron.dll and VisualCronAPI.dll).
I can call this (RunTask) script by another PowerShell script and everything runs properly.

However,
when I setup VC task to call this RunTask script (either by command Execute or PowerShell option)
I get error message (edited real path for privacy concerns):

Exception calling "LoadFrom" with "1" argument(s): "Could not load file or
assembly 'file://\\myServer\Test\Include\VisualCronAPI.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported.

Seems to be simplty that the file(s) (references) cannot be found. What if you place all files in the same folder?

It seems to be same case.

This issue was related to .NET permissions. We added to configuration
file of PowerShell:
<runtime>
<loadfromremotesources enabled="true"/>
</runtime>

Thanks for the feedback!

I have exactly the same error, please check my last thread.

Your solution there didn't work tho, in which config file should I put this?
