Hello, thanks for opening this issue.
Which version of AWS.Tools.Installer
are you using?
I am using 1.0.0.0
on my machine and I don't experience multiple installations of AWS.Tools.Common
. These are the relevant parts of the verbose logs on my machine.

As you can see AWS.Tools.Common
is only downloaded and installed once.
Apart from the issue of multiple installations of AWS.Tools.Common
, Update-AWSToolsModule
and Install-AWSToolsModule
are definitely slower than we would like. We will work to improve performances where possible.
We also don't recommend using AWS.Tools to users who use many different AWS services because Install-Module
and Import-Module
are much slower working with many small modules than a single large one. So, if you judge that update or import times of AWS.Tools are inadequate for your use case, we recommend to use AWSPowerShell.NetCore instead. AWSPowerShell.NetCore has the same features as AWS.Tools in a single module, so it works best if you plan using many AWS services together.
We will also consider making all the AWS.Tools modules available as a single download, so that they can be downloaded and copied to the module folder quickly as an alternative to using Install-Module
.
Hello, the latest release of AWS.Tools.Installer has improvements to the installation speed. I think this is close to the fastest we can get while still relying on Install-Module to perform the module installation. Did you have a chance of updating AWS.Tools.Installer and try it?
When running Install-AWSToolsModule or Update-AWSToolsModule AWS.Tools.Common gets installed with each module install or update.
Expected Behavior
AWS.Tools.Common should only be installed or updated once. After that, there should be a check to see if it's at the correct version and installed before installing or updating it.
Current Behavior
When running Install-AWSToolsModule or Update-AWSToolsModule AWS.Tools.Common gets installed with each module install or update. So if I have 50 modules to update, it will install AWS.Tools.Common 50 times, for a total of 100 install actions.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Update-AWSToolsModule
Context
It takes hours to update the AWS.Tools modules on my computer.
