Steps to reproduce

This started as a discussion item but it has been unanswered and I couldn't find any related issues.

Running Windows Server 2016, Server Core.

 PS C:\> $psversiontable

Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      5.1.14393.2273
PSEdition                      Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion                   10.0.14393.2273
CLRVersion                     4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion              3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3
SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1

I installed v3.0.19-beta19.

PS C:\> get-module powershellget -ListAvailable | Select Version,Name

Version Name
------- ----
3.0.19  PowerShellGet
2.2.5   PowerShellGet
1.0.0.1 PowerShellGet

But it fails to import.

PS C:\> Import-Module PowerShellGet -RequiredVersion 3.0.19 -verbose

If there is a requirement for PowerShellGet, then it needs to be documented and put in the module manifest if appropriate.

Expected behavior

I expect the module to be imported. Or document module requirements.

Actual behavior

Missing assembly error.

This does not appear to be an issue in Windows PowerShell on Windows Server 2019.

Thanks for opening this issue @jdhitsolutions can you confirm this repros with beta20, we built this against a different version of .Net and have fewer dependencies
