NetworkingDsc: "Import-DscResource Could not find the module" due to ModuleVersion Key not matching Folder Directory

[WMPCraig]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

I am able to Install-Module successfully. However when try to Import-DSC Resource within my configuration PowerShell shows an error "Could not find the module 'NetworkingDsc'

When running Test-ModuleManifest there is an issue with the ModuleVersion Key not matching the folder name

Test-ModuleManifest : The ModuleVersion key in module manifest 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\NetworkingDsc\7.3.0\NetworkingDsc.psd1' specifies module version '7.3.0.0' which does not match its version folder name at 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\NetworkingDsc\7.3.0'. Change the value of the ModuleVersion key to match the version folder name. At line:1 char:1

Are you getting the module from an internal repository? If so then this might track this problem. https://github.com/PowerShell/DscResources/issues/508

[WMPCraig]

@johlju I am getting it from our internal repo. Is this the issue or will it be the same from PS Gallery?

[johlju]

If you use install-module from the gallery you should not see this issue.

FYI: If you're using something like Sonatype Nexus, using a Proxy repository of PSGallery will work just fine.
