Important Upgrade Notes
If RED upgrade the repository option is chosen.
This enablement pack will overwrite any existing Source Enablement Pack UI Configs:

...

To ensure existing Source Enablement Pack connections and associated Load Tables continue to browse and load:
Go into UI Configuration Maintenance in RED before installing this  Enablement Pack and rename the affected UI Configurations. While the updated Load Template will work with previous Source Enablement Pack 's we recommend moving these previous versions of Load Tables to newly created Parser-based connections following this install. The earlier versions of the Source Enablement Pack will be deprecated following this release.

...

  1. Connection: Data Warehouse ('Databricks')- This connection was setup set as per parameters provided in Setup Wizard

Windows Powershell Script Execution

On some systems, Windows Powershell script execution is disabled by default. There are several workarounds for this which can be found by searching the term "Powershell Execution Policy".
Here is the most common workaround that WhereScape suggests, which does not permanently change the execution rights:
Start a Windows CMD prompt as Administrator, change the directory to your script directory, and run the WhereScape Powershell scripts with this command:

...

  • Method 1
    Press the Windows Key on your keyboard and start typing cmd.exe, when the cmd.exe icon shows up in the search list right click it to bring up the context menu, select "Run As Administrator"
    Now you have an admin prompt navigate to to the folder where you have unpacked your WhereScape Red Enablement Pack using the 'cd' command:
    C:\Windows\system32> cd <full path to the unpacked folder> 
    Run batch (.bat) scripts from the administrator prompt by simply typing the name at the prompt and clicking enter, for example:
    C:\temp\EnablementPack>install_WslPython_Modules.bat
  • Method 2
    Press the Windows Key on your keyboard and start typing cmd.exe, when the cmd.exe icon shows up in the search list right click it to bring up the context menu, select "Run As Administrator"
    Now you have an admin prompt navigate to to the folder where you have unpacked your WhereScape Red Enablement Pack using the 'cd' command:
    C:\Windows\system32> cd <full path to the unpacked folder>
    Run the below command
    python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

For upgrade of an existing repository 

Image Modified
In the upgrade of the existing repository if the user gets the above error then it means the script type of wsl_post_install_enablement_pack is set to PowerShell(64-bit) change the script type to Auto Execute-PowerShell before upgrade upgrading or manually run running the wsl_post_install_enablement_pack script from the host script from RED after the upgrade.

...

If you have RED 10.x or higher installed but the script (Setup_Enablement_Pack.ps1) fails to find it on your system then you are most likely running the PowerShell (x86) version which does not show installed 64-bit apps by default. Please open a 64-bit version of Powershell instead and re-run the script
