Powershell: Error in help URI for module: Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation, SqlServer

Created on 19 Aug 2016  路  4Comments  路  Source: PowerShell/PowerShell

On Windows 10 Anniversary Update, I'm getting this error:

Save-Help : Failed to save Help for the module(s) 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation, SqlServer' with UI
culture(s) {en-US} : The value of the HelpInfoUri key in the module manifest must resolve to a container or root URL
on a website where the help files are stored. The HelpInfoUri 'https://www.msn.com/?ocid=NEFLS000' does not resolve to
a container.
At line:1 char:16

  • mkdir \pshelp; save-help -DestinationPath c:\pshelp
  • ~~~~~~~~

    • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Save-Help], Exception

    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidHelpInfoUri,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SaveHelpCommand

To repro, simply run Save-Help. Looks like a bad MSN URI in the module manifest.

The SQL Server one has been previously reported to the SQL Team via Uservoice so should be getting fixed though have your installed the August 2016 version of SSMS ?

Though the HelpInfoUri link in Microsoft.PowerShell.Operation.Validation directs to a broken link so this may need to be raised on the OVF repo if not already raised.

@JamesWTruher did you make this fix on GitHub as well?

nope - this module is not part of PowerShell Core
