Got Windows 10 workstation with $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major Minor Build Revision

5 1 14393 0

I can install on it modules from Chocolatey without problem. So example

PS:\ Choco Install Carbon

install module Carbon without any problems. But when I am trying to make the same from Powershell Gallery, like

PS:\ Install-Module -Name WriteToLogs

Install-Module : The 'Install-Module' command was found in the module 'powerShellget', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module PowerShellGet'.
At line:1 char:1

+ Install-Module name WriteToLogs

+ categoryInfo : ObjectnotFound: (Install-Module:String) [], CommandnotFoundexception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoLoadmatchineModule

Ok, so I try, as suggested, Import-Module powerShellGet

PS:\ Import-Module PowerShellGet

but it makes another error

Import-Module : The required module 'Packagemanagement' is not loaded. Load the module or remove the module from 'RquiredModules' in the file 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerSgellGet\1.0.0.1\powershellGet.psd1'.

At line:1 char:1

+ Import-Module PowerShellGet

+ categoryInfo : ResourceUnavalibly: (C:\Program File ...erShellGet.psd1:String} [import-Module]. Missingmemeberexception
+ FullyQualifiederrorId: Modules_Invalidmanifest, Microsoft, PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleComand

Any suggestion? Please advice

I suspect you have damaged your installation as the PowerShellGet function in installed in PosH 10 by default.

This can happen at times when you upgrade a previous OS and use a pre-release upgrade.

I recommend that you do a full restore of Win 10 and test before adding any other components.

I recently came across the same problem, I found out that I had few versions of PowerShellGet installed inside:

C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet

If you have more than one, try deleting everything but 1.0.0.1 and update PowerShellGet in a fresh PS console.

How do you properly delete everything but 1.0.0.1?

For people reading this and still not able to solve this. Try downloading 5.1 framework https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616 and rebooting. All should work fine after that!

Not a solution for this question. You cannot install WMF 5.1 on Windows 10 or later systems.
