Edit: It seems like there is an issue for this already: PowerShell/PowerShellGet#58.

---

From the error message it seems like you are using PowerShellGet v3.0.23-beta23 (there is no stable version of this release):

• https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerShellGet/3.0.23-beta23

This is a shim for PSResourceGet. More reading:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/powershellget
• https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet

The last link is where you should create an issue for this.

Having said that, that project looks kind of abandoned, or at least not highly prioritized, and there haven't been a stable v3 release yet.

I suggest you do one of the following things:

• Use PowerShell v7.5, it has PSResourceGet included.
• Use the last stable release of PowerShellGet, v2.2.5: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerShellGet/2.2.5
• Use PackageManagement (included in Windows PowerShell), for instance like so:

  PackageManagement\Install-Package -Source 'PSGallery' -Scope 'CurrentUser' -Name 'Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet'

• Download .nupkg manually from PowerShell Gallery ( https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet ), extract it like a ZIP file to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet\<version>\<content_of_.nupkg>.

You can use this snippet to do the last suggestion from @o-l-a-v per-session (admin or user session)

Invoke-WebRequest https://cdn.powershellgallery.com/packages/microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1.nupkg -OutFile Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1.nupkg
Unblock-file Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1.nupkg
Expand-Archive -Path Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1.nupkg -DestinationPath Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1\
Remove-Item Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1.nupkg
Import-Module Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1\tools\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.psd1 -Force

You can then call Install-PSResource PSResourceGet to Install making use of the -Scope parameter and then use this properly in future

make sure to call this to clean up the temp installation

Remove-Item Temp:\microsoft.powershell.psresourceget.1.1.1\ -Force -Recurse
