Steps to reproduce
Hi,
Since PowerShell 7.6.0 the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet Module is bundled with the Install.
It's not possible to detect the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet Module anymore, because it's installed in the Program directory: C:\program files\powershell\7\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.dll
Get-InstalledPSResource only has the Scope "CurrentUser" or "AllUsers"
Expected behavior
# One of these Commands should return the Version of PSResourceGet
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope AllUsersActual behavior
# Both commands fail to return the Module, because it's in the PowerShell Program Directory
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope AllUsersError details
