I can not install the module pointing to the PSM1 file
Is it possible to install a .PSM1 module? With the Install-Module command I can not do it.
If it is not possible, how do I not have to import the module with Import-Module in all new sections.
Install-Module "\\servers\folders\module.PSM1"
Error Example:
Install-Module "C:\INFRA\PsSinqia.psm1"

The correct folders are:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\
The folder and module must have the same name.
Reference: MSOnline can't be imported on PowerShell (Connect-MsolService error)

I was going to automate some regular task on client computers using Powershell module. In this way, PSWINDOWSUPDATE is one of bests. But, I receive an error during install that:
PS C:\Users\stackoverflow> install-module -name pswindowsupdate -scope currentuser
PackageManagement\Install-Package : Package 'PSWindowsUpdate' failed to be installed because:
Access to the path 'C:\Users\stackoverflow\AppData\Local\Temp\ipufiq2h\PSWindowsUpdate.dll' is denied.

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidResult: (PSWindowsUpdate:String) [Install-Package], Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Package '{0}' failed to be installed because: {1},Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement

running the command in administrative mode and without -scope switch didn't solve the problem.
Edit1: The problem is solved. But there is another problem. When I call import-module pswindowsupdate following error occurs:
import-module : Errors occurred while loading the format data file:

I have few powershell script which I am trying to put into module. In the same module I also intend to load a c# dll for token generation. DLL uses System.Management.Automation.
#content of asr.psm1
Import-Module ".\tokengenerator\PowershellTokenGenerator.dll"
Get-ChildItem $psscriptroot\*.ps1 -Recurse | ForEach-Object { . $_.FullName }
The folder tokengenerator includes dll to generate OAuth2.0 token. How can I load powershell module and C# cmdlet under the same module. However, when I am trying to load the module I get the below error.
Import-Module D:\repo\src\aadsr\setup\asr.psm1
Import-Module : The specified module '.\tokengenerator\PowershellTokenGenerator.dll' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory. At D:\repo\src\aadsr\setup\asr.psm1:1 char:1

Use:
Import-Module "$PSScriptRoot\tokengenerator\PowershellTokenGenerator.dll"
to ensure that the DLL is found relative to the script module's (*.psm1) location, reflected in automatic variable $PSScriptRoot.
By contrast, if you use Import-Module ".\...", the DLL is looked for relative to the current location (.), whatever it may be.
I have installed Powershell 6.0.0 on Ubuntu 16.04. I am getting following error when trying to create Azure Data Factory using Powershell

Currently, Set-AzureRmDataFactoryV2 cmdlet is not supported on Linux. AzureRM.NetCore supports following services.
Virtual Machine
App Service (Websites)
SQL Database
Storage
Network
More information please refer to this official document.
If possible, I suggest you could use Azure CLI.
I have solved this issue in my machine by updating Az.DataFactory module.
Install/update latest AzureRM.DataFactoryV2 module.
Restart your powershell.
try the above command.
it will work successfully.
Consider the following module script:
MyWebApp.psm1:
#Requires -Version 4
#Requires -Modules WebAdministration
function Test-MyWebApp() {
return ((Get-WebApplication 'myapp') -ne $null)
}
(Export-ModuleMember omitted for simplicity. The script still works as a module without it.)
If this were a ps1 script, the #Requires comments at the top would force PowerShell to throw an error if
The version were lower than 4
The WebAdministration module could not be loaded (imported)
But if I try to import this using Import-Module, do these have any effect? The #Requires documentation just says "scripts", but it doesn't clarify whether script modules count as "scripts" or not here. What can I do instead, if not?
No, it's treated as a normal comment
No, #Requires comments are not processed when a psm1 script is executed by calling Import-Module.
If we save the script in the question as both MyWebApp.psm1 and MyWebApp.ps1 on a machine that lacks the WebAdministration module, we get the following result:
PS> .\MyWebApp.ps1
.\MyWebApp.ps1 : The script 'MyWebApp.ps1' cannot be run because the following modules that are specified by the
"#requires" statements of the script are missing: WebAdministration.

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (MyWebApp.ps1:String) [], ScriptRequiresException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ScriptRequiresMissingModules
PS> Import-Module .\MyWebApp.psm1
PS>
Importing the module succeeds, and the function now exists in the current scope. But the function will fail:
PS> Test-MyWebApp
Get-WebApplication : The term 'Get-WebApplication' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file,
or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and

Even the -Version check is ignored. If we bump it up to 5 on a machine with only PowerShell 4:
PS> .\MyWebApp.ps1
.\MyWebApp.ps1 : The script 'MyWebApp.ps1' cannot be run because it contained a "#requires" statement for Windows
PowerShell 5.0. The version of Windows PowerShell that is required by the script does not match the currently running

+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (MyWebApp.ps1:String) [], ScriptRequiresException

PS> Import-Module .\MyWebApp.psm1
PS>
Use a Module Manifest
The only way to get the requirements validated properly is to use a module manifest. Unfortunately, this must be a separate file alongside the psm1 file. The following manifest will achieve what the #Requires comments are intended to do:
MyWebApp.psd1:
#
# Module manifest for module 'MyWebApp'
#
#{
ModuleVersion = '1.0'
PowerShellVersion = '4.0'
RequiredModules = #('WebAdministration')
RootModule = #('.\MyWebApp.psm1')
}
Importing this file gives the error we want:
PS> Import-Module .\MyWebApp.psd1
Import-Module : The required module 'WebAdministration' is not loaded. Load the module or remove the module from 'RequiredModules' in the file
'.\MyWebApp.psd1'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-Module .\MyWebApp.psd1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (.\MyWebApp.psd1:String) [Import-Module], MissingMemberException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_InvalidManifest,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand
Unfortunately, you cannot declare the function in the same file. You must use a separate psd1 file and then explicitly declare the original psm1 script as the "root module." The root module is indicated as a path relative to the psd1 file.
Other attributes:
The ModuleVersion is required. It must be present.
PowerShellVersion accomplishes what #Requires -Version 4 intends.
RequiredModules accomplishes what #Requires -Modules WebAdministration intends.
Note that Test-MyWebApp is exported implicitly in both the psm1 and the psd1 file. This is normally controlled by Export-ModuleMember -Function in a psm1 file; the equivalent in a module manifest is FunctionsToExport. I find it simpler to just omit FunctionsToExport from the manifest and control what's exported using Export-ModuleMember in the psm1 script.
