Install-Module Fails on mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:6.2.3-nanoserver-1803

[bo67192]

I'm trying to run Install-Module AWS.Tools.Installer -force -confirm:$false inside of a container from mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:6.2.3-nanoserver-1803, but I get an error.

Expected Behavior

I expect to be able to run

docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:6.2.3-nanoserver-1803

And then this inside of the container

Install-Module AWS.Tools.Installer -force -confirm:$false;

And have the AWS tools installer available

Current Behavior

Instead of getting the install I get this

PackageManagement\Install-Package : The module 'AWS.Tools.Installer' cannot be installed or updated because the authenticode signature of the file 'AWS.Tools.Installer.psd1' is not valid.
At C:\program files\powershell\Modules\PowerShellGet\PSModule.psm1:9508 char:21
+ ...          $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters
+                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.PowerShel\u2026lets.InstallPackage:InstallPackage) [Install-Package], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidAuthenticodeSignature,ValidateAndGet-AuthenticodeSignature,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Run

docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:6.2.3-nanoserver-1803

to get a running powershell container, then run this inside of the container

Install-Module AWS.Tools.Installer -force -confirm:$false;

I'm not running any other commands inside of the container.

Context

We're trying to use the AWS Powershell tools modularized version

Your Environment

I'm running windows 10 version 1803 build 17134.1246

PS > docker --version
Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea

I appreciate any help

Hello, I will try to test this myself and see if I can get more insight.

This is very unexpected, you are getting an error running Install-Module Questions:

• are you able to install other AWS.Tools modules? e.g. Install-Module AWS.Tools.EC2
• are you able to install other non-AWS modules?
• what version of AWS.Tools.Installer are you installing? I suppose 1.0.1.0 (latest)
• could you give me your $PSVersionTable output?

Possible workarounds:

• If the issue is limited to AWS.Tools.Installer, you can simply skip installing it and instead directly Install-Module the AWS.Tools modules for the services you need. This would actually be my suggested process on a container. AWS.Tools.Installer provides a useful simplification of the update and uninstallation processes, especially in case you want to use multiple AWS.Tools modules. Considering that you should never update or uninstall stuff from a container, you most likely don't need AWS.Tools.Installer at all.
• If you are unable to install any of the AWS.Tools modules, you could instead download them all in zip format from https://sdk-for-net.amazonwebservices.com/ps/v4/latest/AWS.Tools.zip and simply unzip them in your module directory. This will also make the whole installation process much much faster if you plan to use a large number of modules. If you wish to use this method but prefer to lock the version of AWS.Tools that you are using, you can use a version-specific download link like https://sdk-for-net.amazonwebservices.com/ps/releases/AWS.Tools.4.0.4.0.zip.

Hi @matteo-prosperi ,

Here's my $psversiontable

PS C:\> $psversiontable

Name                           Value
----                           -----

WSManStackVersion              3.0

It looks like I can't install AWS.Tools.EC2 either:

PS C:\> install-module AWS.Tools.EC2

but it looks like I can't install Pester either

I'm confused by this error

WARNING: Win32Helpers: Cannot add type. Compilation errors occurred.

Does that mean there's something wrong with my container, and it's not an AWS module problem?

[matteo-prosperi]

Hi, If you are not able to Install-Module anything, then it is likely an issue with your container. I would suggest trying on a different container than mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:6.2.3-nanoserver-1803 and see if you have better luck.

[hanischandrew]

Not that it's recommended, but you could add '-SkipPublisherCheck' to the Install-Module command.

Hi @bo67192,

Please confirm if this is no longer an issue or if you are able to test it on a different container as suggested by @matteo-prosperi.

Thanks, Ashish
