Please fix Bad Thycotic.SecretServer v0.60.6 Module folders distributed under the latest Assets

Verified issue does not already exist?

No

What error did you receive

Before I continue! Both zip and rar files are badly built!

Import-Module -Name Thycotic.SecretServer
Import-Module : The module to process 'C:\Users\max_t\OneDrive\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Thycotic.Secretserve
r\Thycotic.SecretServer\bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\Thycotic.SecretServer.dll', listed in field 'NestedModules' of module
manifest

processed because no valid module was found in any module directory.

   xception

At the same time the *psd1 file contains errors which is the causing of the module loading error:

1. Wrong module version number

2. Wrong nested module path defined.

I wonder who's doing the QA and Validation of this Moule built before posting it to the Asset page?

Please run the command using -Verbose

Also, the module folder structure is not consistent with the previous version (v 0.60.5) which v0.60.6 is missing the version folder.

Provide a test case or steps to reproduce

N/A as the unzipped nor the unrar folder won't import the module!

Expected behavior

To load the module without any errors. and should work in both Windows PowerShell 5.0 and PowerShell 7.2.1.

As I made the changes myself, to find out the module works only in PowerShell 7.2.1 and not Window PowerShell 5.0.

Last error preventing the fixes to loads in Windows PowerShell 5.1:

PS [22] > import-module Thycotic.SecretServer
import-module : The following error occurred while loading the extended type data file: , C:\Users\max_t\OneDrive\Docum

@MaximoTrinidad Thank you for your feedback.

I've updated the .zip in the release which should fix 1. and 2. from above.

As for the version folder in 0.60.5, I don't see that in the release zip for that version either. So I'm not sure why your version is different.

@EndlessTrax,

I appreciate getting the help in getting it corrected!

".... I don't see that in the release zip for that version either. ..." -> That's because you guys didn't have it available until I mention it.

"...I'm not sure why your version is different." -> the reason is simple: module v0.60.5 was built while using "Install-module -name thycotic.secretServer -scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery".

Now more feedback: Why the quick draw to close this issue without having the issuer confirmed it has been resolved.

Ok.. some confirmation... the module is finally functional but there are some functions that are having issues building the PSObject output.

Of course, I will create issues about these broken functions, when times allow.
