    Type       : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

/cc @daxian-dbw @SeeminglyScience who could comment the exception.

@brwilkinson does it work in Windows PowerShell? I can't repro which makes me lean towards it being an issue with the Windows build you're on.

Can anyone else on the Windows 10 dev channel repro?

SeeminglyScience on 26 Oct 2020

This works on my system with 7.1-rc2 and Windows 20H2 (build 19042). That COMException simply means the cmdlet is trying to use a COM object that isn't found. @brwilinson, is your repro showing that on the same system 7.0.3 works, but 7.1-rc2 does not?

SteveL-MSFT on 26 Oct 2020

Microsoft Windows 10.0.20211

I believe it is better to use Windows Feedback tool to report the issue.

iSazonov on 26 Oct 2020

@SteveL-MSFT yes correct

$PSVersionTable
PSVersion 5.1.20211 <-- works as expected
PSVersion 7.0.3 <-- works as expected
PSVersion 7.1.0-rc.2 <-- hangs for quite a while (assuming a COM timeout), then fails with the COMException.

Repros on both of my main machines.

My second machine is running a later version: Microsoft Windows 10.0.20241

I just tried this on my machine:

Two things @brwilkinson:

Can you try to reproduce on a newer version of Windows?
Can you try with PS 7.1-preview.5?

Because this is done by Dism, which touches COM directly itself (rather than going through PowerShell), this may be caused by changes in .NET rather than in PowerShell.

rjmholt on 27 Oct 2020

I am OOF at the moment, can test it when back on keyboard.

@rjmholt by any chance could you test with the store Preview msix version.

That is one other variable that we should check first.

Ok, I can repro this from Store installed one. I suspect it's due to registry virtualization which isn't supposed to be active.
