PowerShell v7 Installation

[merddyin]

Not entirely sure if PS7 is intended to be supported as of yet, however I wanted to report an issue with installing. If installing using PS5, there are no errors or issues. When installing with PS7 via Install-PSResource, the module partially installs before throwing an error:

Install-PSResource: Unable to successfully install package 'string': 'Cannot generate a PowerShell object for a ScriptBlock evaluating dynamic expressions.

It then goes on to show the dynamic expression, which appears to be the module manifest for the 'string' module. A review of content after the fact reveals that the 'string' module is not installed, though other dependent modules are.

Running PowerShell 7.3.3 on Windows 11 (Insiders Build) via Windows Terminal.

Hi @merddyin,
sorry about the incredibly late response :(

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue - works just fine for me. Does this still happen for you?
With what version of PowerShellGet?

As mentioned, was using PowerShell 7.3.3. I believe I may have traced the issue to a conflict type scenario. The module was previously installed in PowerShell 5 into my Documents\MicrosoftPowerShell\Modules directory. I was being a bit lazy and decided to install again on PS 7 side, into Documents\PowerShell\Modules (as is default). I was able to work around the problem by ensuring the PS5 copy of the module was up to date and just copying it over.

Not sure if this helps or not.
