Running the "pac" command in Windows 11 through Parallels on a MacBook Pro

[GorgonUK]

Whenever I would run the PAC command in PowerShell I would get this error:

[ERROR] Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
[ERROR] at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes(RuntimeModule module)
[ERROR] at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes()
[ERROR] at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes()

Running the "pac install latest" did no good.

I managed to resolve the error this way:

1. Navigate to https://nuget.org
2. Download the "Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI" package manually - Now you should have microsoft.powerapps.cli.x.xx.x.nupkg in your "Downloads" folder
3. Copy the nupkg file to the existing folder C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerAppsCLI/Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.x.xx.x
4. Run "pac install latest" again in PowerShell

This might be useful for people who want to develop PCF controls on MacOS

Here is how you can install PAC CLI. For MacOS and Linux it might be easier to use dotnet tool to install PAC CLI
