New-Object : Cannot find an overload for "PlatformParameters" and the argument count: "1".

[collinsmc23]

Just stumbled on the PowerBIPS module this morning. I am trying to shape the script in a customized way which fits my situation within PowerBi. I have been sitting here for hours trying to figure out this error message:

New-Object : Cannot find an overload for "PlatformParameters" and the argument count: "1".

Whenever I try to execute the below command or just simply calling Get-PBIAuthToken, my error gets flagged.

$data | Out-PowerBI -authToken $authToken -dataSetName "CSVSales" -tableName "Sales" it

Same here.

PS C:\temp> Get-PBIAuthToken -clientId "C0E8435C-614D-49BF-A758-3EF858F8901B"

I'm encountering this error as well. What is the resolution or workaround? Do I need to replace the version of Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.dll used?
