Just trying to add some fusionIO .vibs into an ESXi 6.5 image.

I just ran the script without any parameters, (v2.8.0 downloaded from github) and this is what I get.

Environment is a Server 2012 R2 (fully patched) along with vSphere PowerCLI 5.5

The log file:

@VFrontDe commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2020):

This is probably due to incompatibility with the Powershell or PowerCLI version.
Please uninstall PowerCLI 5.5 and install a recent version of PowerCLI using the PowerShell-Cmdliet Install-Module.
