Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

I'm using the the DSC_PendingReboot Resource in some configurations. When I tried to apply one configuration on a german ISO I get the Message which I paste in the Verbose logs.
Mention: Not only on a German OS but on another Machine with another ISO he looked for [...]ComputerManagementDsc\8.4.0\DscResources\DSC_PendingReboot*en-GB*
He tries to find the DSC_PendingReboot.data.psd1 in the "C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ComputerManagementDsc\8.4.0\DscResources\DSC_PendingReboot\de-DE" Path

Translation of the verbose logs: Import of Module DSC_PendingReboot failed with error the Windows PowerShell datafile DSC_PendingReboot.data.psd1 cant be found in Path "C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ComputerManagementDsc\8.4.0\DscResources\DSC_PendingReboot\de-DE" or in a higher Directory.

Thanks for raising this. Didnt mean to close/ reopen. This looks like an issue with the localization code loading. Should not have tried to look for that localization because we've not implemented it.

I am having the same issue with version 8.4.0 with a Spanish ISO. It tries to find the folder:

'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ComputerManagementDsc\8.4.0\DscResources\DSC_PendingReboot\es-ES'

I copied the en-US folder under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\ComputerManagementDsc\8.4.0\DscResources\DSC_PendingReboot\ and rename it to es-ES and it didn´t complain but unfortunately is not rebooting the machine.

I tried with version 8.1.0 and it doesn´t complain.

Hi @mgonzcast and @bjornson09 - I've found the problem I think - it isn't the language file that is failing to load, it appears to be the data file. I'll fix this, this weekend.
