[Bug]: GetHypervState "Class not registered" error not caught on non-English Windows locales

[ctm-fl]

BCContainerhelper version

6.1.14

Describe the issue

The fix for #3378 (PR #3382) added a try/catch in GetHypervState that checks for the error message "Class not registered". However, on non-English Windows installations (e.g. German), the error message is localized (e.g. "Klasse nicht registriert"). The regex match $_.Exception.Message -match "Class not registered" does not match the localized string, so the error is re-thrown instead of being caught gracefully.

This causes New-BcContainer to fail with Error: Klasse nicht registriert when running as administrator on a German Windows system with PowerShell 7.

(Disclaimer: I used AI to create the text for this bug report.)

Command or script used to produce the issue

Any call to New-BcContainer while running as administrator on a non-English Windows with PowerShell 7, e.g.:

New-BcContainer -accept_eula -containerName "test" -artifactUrl (Get-BCArtifactUrl -type OnPrem -version 27.1 -country de)

Full output of the command or script

BcContainerHelper is version 6.1.14
BcContainerHelper is running as administrator
Error: Klasse nicht registriert

Stacktrace: at GetHypervState, C:\ProgramData\BcContainerHelper\6.1.14\BcContainerHelper\BcContainerHelper.psm1: line 38
at New-BcContainer, C:\ProgramData\BcContainerHelper\6.1.14\BcContainerHelper\ContainerHandling\New-NavContainer.ps1: line 437

Additional information

The current code in BcContainerHelper.psm1 line 47:

if ($_.Exception.Message -match "Class not registered") {

A simple fix would be to also match common localized variants, or better yet, match the HResult or exception type instead of the message string. For example:

if ($_.Exception.Message -match "Class not registered|Klasse nicht registriert") {

Or more robust, matching the HRESULT 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG):

• OS: Windows 11 (German locale)
• PowerShell: 7.x
• Hyper-V: Fully installed and enabled, vmms service running

Does this happen every time?

Yes

Did this used to work?

Yes
