Hi
Since I’ve updated Octopus (from a version that didn’t handle automatic update to the latest release), I’m facing the following error :

My package does only contain 1 Deploy.ps1 script and used to work with the previous version.
Actually the script is executed but still, since this exception is raised, my deployment appears as failed.
