Screenshots failing for me

[snappyq]

Downloaded the zip, followed the instructions, and received the following error. The report.html file is generated, but no screenshot. Not sure what I'm missing. Both the exe & dll are in the same directory. End-user error?

Having same issue - Anyone manage to resolve.

When I received this error the script was looking for the files in the path C:\Windows\system32.

To fix this I

1. setup the script and it's files as a module by copy the repo to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\.
2. Then, I edited the PowerWebShot.ps1 script to look for the WebDriver.dll file at C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerWebShot\WebDriver.dll (line 80) and
3. I modified the $phantomjspath to be C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerWebShot (line 92).

Hello, If you have Powershell 3 or newer, you can do the following changes: line 80: $SeleniumDriverPath = "$PSScriptRoot\WebDriver.dll" line 92: $phantomjspath = $PSScriptRoot

That has fixed the issue for me.

Neither of these methods work for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
