Installation of v3.1.2 fails

[monemihir]

The installation of the latest version fails for me. See error below:

C:\Temp\> Install-Module PsIni -Force
WARNING: Source Location 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/PsIni/3.1.2' is not valid.
PackageManagement\Install-Package : Package 'PsIni' failed to download.

Has anyone seen this before and/or know how to fix this?

Hello moneihir,

You may want to execute the command with the -Verbose argument to get more details. I'm able to install this version. Shown bellow to compare:

Thanks, I've resolved the issue. Turns out that TLS1.2 needs to now be used for installing powershell modules after a recent update.

Added this line above the Install-Module command it worked.

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
