Error installing Powercli

[DarkSystems]

Hi,

 

When i try to install powercli on my computer i received the same error 

PS C:\Users\aaaaaa> Install-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Common
Install-Package: Package 'VMware.VimAutomation.Common' failed to be installed because: End of Central Directory record could not be found.

I've a windows 11 environtment with Powershell 5.1, and try to install Powershell 7.2.13, updating the PowershellGet and nuget package. 

Enable powershell Gallery with a trusted InstallationPolicy, 

When i try the -verbose option, i've the following error

VERBOSE: InstallPackage' - name='VMware.VimAutomation.Common', version='13.1.0.21605386',destination='C:\Users\AAAA\AppData\Local\Temp\1337495816'

VERBOSE: Hash for package 'VMware.VimAutomation.Common' does not match hash provided from the server.

But the error persist.

Any idea?

Probably an issue with PowershellGet

Run the following commando's in a elevated PowerShell prompt

Install-PackageProvider Nuget –force –verbose
Install-Module –Name PowerShellGet –Force –Verbose
Update-Module

The first command report 

Install-PackageProvider: No match was found for the specified search criteria for the provider 'Nuget'. The package provider requires 'PackageManagement' and 'Provider' tags. Please check if the specified package has the tags.

with Powershell 7.2.13
