Snap-in installed but cmdlets not visible

Ok, let's start from the beginning.

First you need to run the setupSnapin.ps1 file in the "c:\program files (x86)\F5 Networks\iControlSnapin" installation directory. This will add the snapin to the registry. Maybe you missed this step...

PS C:\Program files (x86)\F5 Networks\iControlSnapin> .\setupSnapin.ps1 -force

Keep in mind that you will need run this as Administrator as it updatest the registry.

Then this command should then return the following:

PS> Get-PSSnapin -Registered iControlSnapin
Name        : iControlSnapIn
PSVersion   : 2.0
Description : iControl Snap-in for F5 Device Management

Then you'll need to add the snapin to your current runspace

PS> Add-PSSnapin iControlSnapin

Then running the Get-PSSnapin should return the snapin info:

PS> Get-PSSnapin iControlSnapin
Name        : iControlSnapIn
PSVersion   : 2.0
Description : iControl Snap-in for F5 Device Management

At this point, the snapin is loaded in the runspace and you should be able to get the exported cmdlets from the snapin:

PS> Get-Command -Module iControlSnapin
CommandType     Name
-----------     ----
Cmdlet          Add-F5.LTMPoolMember
Cmdlet          Add-F5.LTMVirtualServerRule
  ...

And the Initialize-F5.iControl cmdlet should be there too

PS> Get-Command -Module iControlSnapin Initialize-F5.iControl
CommandType     Name
-----------     ----
Cmdlet          Initialize-F5.iControl

Could you run through those steps and see where things break down.
