Unable To Download Module From PowershellGallery

thedwindlingdba commented 6 years ago

Hello,

When attempting to install the Pansies module from the powershell gallery using the following syntax Find-Module -Name "Pansies" -IncludeDependencies | Install-Module -Force -AllowClobber -Verbose

I receive the following error (I have also attached a screenshot of said error): PackageManagement\Install-Package : The module 'Pansies' cannot be installed or updated because it is not a properly-formed module. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.5.0.0\PSModule.psm1:1980 char:34

... $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters

Same here when trying to install on a new machine, causes the newest version of PowerLine to fail because it can't load Pansies as a dependancy

If you're trying to install a version over the top of the same version that's already imported, you would have trouble, because the module includes a binary assembly that would be locked in memory.

The current prerelease version works. Can you try that?

Install-Module Pansies -Scope Currentuser -AllowPrerelease -AllowClobber

PoshCode / Pansies
