Failed to install module due to failed access to cloud file

[Tafnu07]

When trying to install VSSetup module by running the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module VSSetup -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$false

But it fails with "Access to the cloud file is denied"

PackageManagement\Install-Package : Access to the cloud file is denied At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1:1809 char:21

• ... $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters

• 
  + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Microsoft.Power....InstallPackage:InstallPackage) [Install-Package], Exception
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

Not sure how to resolve this issue. Can't seem to find any help online as well.

You might check the powershellgallery.com status. This isn't a problem with this PowerShell module, but something with PSGet (PackageManager) or powershellgallery.com itself. See https://aka.ms/psgallery-status/ for status, and https://www.powershellgallery.com/policies/Contact for support options for either the PSGet module or the gallery.

I've had the same error with Powershell 5; issue got resolved only by installing powershell 7.
