I downloaded the binaries from here - http://staffdotnet.com/services/powertools.html And then I downloaded OpenXMLDSK v2.3302 from here: http://www.f1cd.ru/soft/base/o/open_xml_format_sdk/open_xml_format_sdk_20_sep08/OpenXMLSDKv2.msi To check the version of our DocumentFormat.OpenXml binary then check out C:\Windows\Assembly and you can see the version, once you get the same version that your error is throwing up hopefully it should all work...

Thx again and wish you Merry Christmas Hi Slowe,

I walked through these instructions with a customer and it worked. I will say that you have to run the VI Toolkit, not just straight PowerShell, and then run the Add-PSSnapin command so that you have both the VI Toolkit commands as well as the Power Documenter commands available to you. Good luck! Bico,

I follow the given instruction for setup, but at my Systems I cant get this running. Everytime I try to start the Documenter script it says that I dont have the VMware Toolkit installed or the OpenXMLPowerTools which are both definately on my System, like even all other recommended Softwarepackages !?

It's wrapped to 2 lines in the article, but it should be all on one line. You'll also need to run the command "Add-PSSnapin OpenXml.PowerTools" when you start PowerShell as well.
