WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

It's a test Domain Controller and I wanted to test something out. First time install, straight install of Preview Extension, and only that extension.

Interesting... The last update to the extension should have redistributed that assembly netstandard...

Can you give me a full dump of what's in this directory?

gci -rec ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.powershell-preview-2019.11.0/modules/PowerShellEditorServices/bin/

if you use vscode insiders the path will be .vscode-insiders instead of .vscode

Interesting. It's definitely in there...

Naturally the workaround for this is:

• Use PowerShell 7
  Or
• Install at least .NET Framework 4.7.2 on your machine

But @rjmholt explicitly wanted to fix this scenario with the last Preview so maybe something was missed there

[PrzemyslawKlys]

I'm okay with workarounds (at least 2nd one) - it would be nice to have a graceful message, rather than a crash.

[rjmholt]

I'm going to look into this, since it's unexpected. We might also be able to catch certain assembly load exceptions if they're thrown in the right way, but I can't guarantee anything until I've had a look.

[DarkLite1]

Experienced the very same issue today on a fresh install, Windows Server 2016. I'll now try the workaround of installing .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher.
