What's in $CurrentVersion?

[MarcLaf]

The version string from the module object.

Yeah, so is it getting a value? What module is being processed at the time? Forgive me for saying this, but you'll have to debug the script to find the problem in your environment. I cannot see what data is in front of you. I've just run the script with admin permissions (which it needs) on a new PC and it works perfectly.

Right I’ve been trying to off and on. I mentioned in the first post that I did not run as administrator because I only want to install for current user (and modified the script to do so), not all users as is originally built. I’m thinking this could be a reason although I’m not sure how that would affect this issue. It does it for all modules. I’ll keep at it then.

I still think you need to run PowerShell as an administrator to be able to install or update modules.

I'm closing this issue.

[MarcLaf]

I know this is closed but I figured out the issue. It wasn't Admin related, it was Windows PowerShell vs PowerShell 7. My default version is PowerShell 7 and I use the majority of the modules there. This script needs Windows PowerShell for what I'm guessing are a few modules dependent on that version. I have no idea if there is a check to implement whether or not it's being run in Windows PowerShell vs PowerShell 7.

That could be it. I do use the Install-Module and Update-Module cmdlets...
