I recently upgraded VMM from 2019 to 2022 without issues, but when I try to create a new VM from an existing VM Template, it fails at the VM configuration phase. I've in-place upgraded the operating system of the VMM server from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022. I've also installed the Windows Server 2022 version of ADK.
Below is the error that I get from the VMM console.
Error (20413)
VMM encountered a critical exception and created an exception report at C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SCVMM.b0d6393c-e02e-4d6e-b1b1-5ad509ee0613\report.txt.
Recommended Action
See the report for exception type, exception message, stack trace and other relevant details. Also check the Windows Event Log for additional troubleshooting information.*
Please advise.
Below is the exception:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Hi,
Please try to enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.

We recently noticed this issue as well when trying to deploy a VM using a template. What worked out for us after testing multiple things was:
The DLLs from here "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Virtual Machine Manager\bin" :
Microsoft.componentstudio.controls.dll Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformImplementation.dll Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface.dll Microsoft.componentstudio.controls.dll Microsoft.ComponentStudio.Serializer.dll
#we renamed them to .old
#We installed the 1809 ADK and copied over the DLLs (from above) from that installation to the bin folder.
#restarted VMM
#deployment via template works again
In the latest updates for ADK for 2022, Microsoft removed VBScripting so that is our main guess on this. But this works, for now at least.
Big thanks to AMG for researching and helping with this one.
