Can't install CredentialManager module in Powershell 5
If you are having trouble installing the CredentialManager module in PowerShell 5, it could be due to a few reasons. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Check PowerShell version: Ensure that you are running PowerShell 5 or a later version. You can check your PowerShell version by running the following command:
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
Install Windows Management Framework: If you are running an older version of PowerShell, you may need to upgrade to a newer version by installing the Windows Management Framework. You can download and install the appropriate version from the Microsoft Download Center.
Install with administrator privileges: Open an elevated PowerShell session with administrator privileges and try installing the CredentialManager module again. Right-click on the PowerShell shortcut and select "Run as administrator" to open an elevated session.
Install using the PowerShell Gallery: Instead of manually installing the module, you can use the PowerShell Gallery to install the CredentialManager module. Open an elevated PowerShell session and run the following command:
Install-Module -Name CredentialManager
Set execution policy: Ensure that your PowerShell execution policy allows installation of modules. You can check the current execution policy by running the command:
Get-ExecutionPolicy
. If it is set to "Restricted", you may need to change it to a less restrictive policy using theSet-ExecutionPolicy
command.
