AppFabric Dashboard Throwing Powershell Error

Question

I have installed AppFabric onto Server2012. I checked the prerequisites were installed first and have installed accumulative update 3. I have an instance of SQL Server 2012 installed to SP1 and the OS indicates that all updates have been installed.

When viewing the dashboard I am receiving the error:

Unable to cast object to type 'System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject' to type 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Management.Data.Group...'

I've found minimal information during my google searches, none of which are providing a solution to the problem.

Can anyone help with this?

Answer 1

I had the same issue and found that applying Windows Update KB2932678 (Cumulative update package 5 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server) stopped the error from coming up.

EDIT : KB3092423 (Cumulative Update 7) is the latest one I could find, so if you are going to apply an update you might as well apply the latest one.
