[chef] Windows Upgrade to Chef Client 11 Not Working

["Gibbons, Daniel (RBI-UK)" < >]

Hi,

 

I’ve just upgraded my Win2008R2 server to Chef client v11 but when running my cookbooks with chef-solo I receive the following error:

I’ve uninstalled  v11 and put v10 back on and now everything works as normal.  I don’t have the chef_handler receipe but wondering if this is now a dependency in v11.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
