Thanks for letting us know of this issue @BohrenAn! Are you encountering this issue with Get-PSResource in PowerShellGet 3.0.17-beta17? We're currently only adding security bug fixes to PowerShellGet v2, but will address any v2 issues or bugs in v3.

I did run the following command. No return value. Does this help?

PS C:\Users\a.bohren> Get-PSResource -Name MicrosoftTeams

@BohrenAn thanks for sharing this info! There's 2 aspects to it. Firstly, with searching for packages installed under "Program Files" included in the path, that denotes machine wide scope, so to search for it you would need to add -Scope AllUsers (instead of the default which is CurrentUser). So an example would be Get-PSResource -Name "PowerShellGet" -Scope AllUsers.

Secondly, modules/scripts installed on WindowsPowerShell (i.e they have "WindowsPowerShell" included in their path), would not be accessible from PowerShell6+. But, modules/scripts installed on PowerShell6+ are accessible from WindowsPowerShell. For you to resolve your issue, if you can install MicrosoftTeams through PowerShell7 then it should be discoverable and accessible with Get-PSResource. Please let us know if that works, thanks!

PowerShell 7 started as Administrator

PS C:\> get-host

It works with the MicrosoftTeams Module

PS C:\> Get-InstalledModule MicrosoftTeams | fl Name, Version, InstalledLocation
Name              : MicrosoftTeams
Version           : 4.9.0
InstalledLocation : C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\4.9.0

With PowerShell 5

PS C:\> get-host
Name             : ConsoleHost
Version          : 5.1.19041.1682
InstanceId       : dde0cb43-049f-40cf-8d53-c5002aa1db09
UI               : System.Management.Automation.Internal.Host.InternalHostUserInterface
CurrentCulture   : en-US
CurrentUICulture : en-US
PrivateData      : Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost+ConsoleColorProxy
DebuggerEnabled  : True
IsRunspacePushed : False
Runspace         : System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalRunspace

PS C:\> Get-InstalledModule MicrosoftTeams | fl Name, Version, InstalledLocation
Name              : MicrosoftTeams
Version           : 4.9.0
InstalledLocation : C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\4.9.0

The Module is installed in two Directorys (has to be installed in each PowerShell Version separatly)

C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\4.9.0 (PowerShell 5)
C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules\MicrosoftTeams\4.9.0 (PowerShell 7)

But check this out (PowerShell 7)
PS C:\> get-InstalledModule PnP.PowerShell
Get-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module names 'PnP.PowerShell'.

PS C:\> get-package PnP.PowerShell
Get-Package: No package found for 'PnP.PowerShell'.

PS C:\> install-Module PnP.PowerShell
WARNING: Version '1.9.0' of module 'PnP.PowerShell' is already installed at 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PnP.PowerShell\1.9.0'. To install version '1.11.0', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '1.11.0' side-by-side with version '1.9.0'.
PS C:\>

Seems to be that you can install some Modules and some not.
Some modules you can load even if they are installed in "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules"

It's not consistent in any way. And i am not able to install several Modules in PowerShell 7. Find it very confusing...

[anamnavi]

@BohrenAn we completely understand the frustration with this PowerShellGet V2 behavior. We are working on PowerShellGet V3 to be less confusing and handle such scenarios better. If you try finding the installed MicrosoftTeams package with the PowerShellGetV3 cmdlet Get-PSResource like such: Get-PSResource -Name "MicrosoftTeams" -Scope AllUsers are you able to find it?

[BohrenAn]

Hi @anamnavi

Install-Module in PowerShell 5 is default to AllUsers?
Install-Module in PowerShell 7 is default to CurrentUser?
Did i get that right?

Here is the Output you asked for in PowerShell 7

@BohrenAn
PSGet 2.2.5 (and its cmdlet Install-Module) defaults to CurrentUser for PowerShell5 and 7.
Lower versions of PSGet may not default to CurrentUser.
