Install fails

[MihaIvan]

I used the command shown for installation. I got a prompt asking if I want to install and import the NuGet provider now. I responded Yes. Here is the contents of the command and output: PS C:\Windows\system32> install-module -Name "Send-MailKitMessage" -scope AllUsers WARNING: Unable to download from URI 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=627338&clcid=0x409' to ''.

Hi @MihaIvan, That isn't a Send-MailKitMessage error, that is a PowerShell error message. There is lots of information out there on possible resolutions if you do a search on "Unable to download the list of available providers. Check your internet connection.".

One thing to note: are you running an updated version of PowerShell (currently 7.2.6)? If not you can install it from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.2#installing-the-msi-package Send-MailKitMessage is designed to work with PowerShell 6+, if you need to use it with Windows PowerShell there is a preview version of the module available which adds support for Windows PowerShell: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Send-MailKitMessage/3.2.0-preview1
