Getting VMware PowerCLI 6 to work on Windows 10

UPDATE: PowerCLI 6.3R1 has been released and fully supports  Windows 10, so there’s no need to do the hack anymore!

 

PowerCLI 6 is not supported on Windows 10 yet, but I just thought I would give it a try anyway. Upon installation of PowerCLI 6 on Windows 10, I was greeted with this unwelcome screen:

powercli6

Luckily and very quickly, I found this link: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/504866?start=0&tstart=0

Just an environment variable. Need to add PSModulePath with “C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Modules” as the value and reboot.
