In Powershell 4, I'm attempting to install the GoogleCloud module.

I use the command:

Install-Module GoogleCloud

It fails with:

PackageManagement\Install-Package : Illegal characters in path. At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\PSModule.psm1:1417 char:21 + $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Microsoft.Power....InstallPackage:InstallPackage) [Install-Package], Exce ption + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.TestModuleManifestCommand,Microso ft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

I've tried:

  • switching Set-Location to a simple path, i.e. C:\jason

  • switching the Env:path to a simple lath, i.e. C:\jason\

  • Please share output from (Get-Module PowerShellGet).Version.ToString(). Maybe that Update-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force could help? Commented Mar 12, 2019 at 11:37
  • Update-Module : Module 'PowerShellGet' was not installed by using Install-Module, so it cannot be updated.

  • (Get-Module PowerShellGet).Version.ToString() 1.0.0.1 Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 15:59
  • Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force and then restart PowerShell session (should install version 2.0.4). Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 22:08
