[BUG - Update-Module -Name "PnP.Powershell" returning an error - PnP.Powershell was not installed by using Install-Module so it cannot be updated

[hsamdani12]

I'm currently on version 1.8.0 for PnP.Powershell.

When I run the following command -
Get-Module PnP -ListAvailable | Select-Object Name,Version | Sort-Object Version -Descending

This is what I get -
Name Version

---

PnP.PowerShell 1.8.0
PnpDevice 1.0.0.0

I'm trying to update to latest version using the following command -
Update-Module -Name "PnP.Powershell" -RequiredVersion 1.10.0 -Force

Expected behavior

I'm sure I used Install-Module to install the PnP. Powershell v 1.8.0. I should be able to update it to latest version of PnP.Powershell

Actual behavior

I get the following error when doing an upgrade -
Update-Module : Module 'PnP.Powershell' was not installed by using Install-Module, so it cannot be updated.
At line:1 char:1

• Update-Module -Name "PnP.Powershell" -RequiredVersion 1.10.0 -Force

•   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (PnP.Powershell:String) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ModuleNotInstalledUsingInstallModuleCmdlet,Update-Module
  
  
  

Steps to reproduce behavior

Please include complete script or code samples in-line or linked from gists

So how do we update?

You can always use install-module -force man. 11. sep. 2023 16.27 skrev Kevin Welsh ***@***.***>:
