@Liturgist can you repro this with the latest version of Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet? And if so, can you share the output of gmo "Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet"? Thanks!

Can't repro. It's very slow, but it works. PSResourceGet v1.0.5.

# Clean up destination
[System.IO.Directory]::GetDirectories(
    ('{0}\PowerShell\Modules' -f [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments'))
).Where{
    $_.Split([System.IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar)[-1] -eq 'Az' -or
    $_.Split([System.IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar)[-1].StartsWith('Az.','OrdinalIgnoreCase')
}.ForEach{
    [System.IO.Directory]::Delete($_,$true)
}

# Install older version first
Install-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -TrustRepository -Name 'Az' -Version '11.6.0' -Scope 'CurrentUser' -Verbose

# Update
Update-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -TrustRepository -Name 'Az' -Scope 'CurrentUser' -Verbose

Close issue?

@anamnavi, Az.* directories are in 'C:\Users\$Env:USERNAME\OneDrive\Documents\PowerShell\Modules'. Different failure message now.

PS C:\src> Update-PSResource Az -Repository PSGallery

@Liturgist Run it again with -Debug?

Update-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -TrustRepository -Name 'Az' -Debug

What version of Az do you currently have installed?

Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name 'Az'

# PSResourceGet must be able to detect it too
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name 'Az' -Scope 'CurrentUser'

What version of Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet did you use?

Import-Module -Name 'Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet' -PassThru

---

Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet currently does not care about / read the $env:PSModulePath variable, instead it's hard coded to use MyDocuments for user context:

• https://github.com/PowerShell/PSResourceGet/blob/fe9c4d685933d4626d0bc74b682c73a671216934/src/code/Utils.cs#L996-L1020

Unless you have folder redirection / known folder move enabled in OneDrive, PSResourceGet might not check that OneDrive folder. So what does this return for you?

[System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
