Watch-DbaXESession errors every time, because SqlServer.XEvent could not be loaded.

Verified issue does not already exist?

I have searched and found no existing issue

What error did you receive?

Any attempts to run Watch-DbaXESession have me informed that

The module 'SqlServer.XEvent' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module SqlServer.Xevent'.

Any attempts to import the module fail. I already clearly have the plain SqlServer module imported and working.

Steps to Reproduce

Get-DbaXESession -SqlInstance YourBox -Session 'Yours' | Watch-DbaXESession

Please confirm that you are running the most recent version of dbatools

2.1.29

Other details or mentions

A possibly related issue is that Export-DbaXECsv always warns me that I'm missing XESmartTarget.Core.dll, but I've made no attempt to investigate that.

Windows PowerShell (powershell.exe)

PowerShell Host Version

5.1.22621.4391
