❔ Trouble Creating PowerShell Commandlet

I'm using visual studio 2022, dotnet 6.0. I installed the automation package using

NuGet\Install-Package Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK -Version 7.2.9

But when I try to import the module after building the package I get the error in the screenshot. Does anyone have any ideas?

@Decabytes what version of PowerShell is that? per $PSVersionTable I have a feeling you're using Windows PowerShell (5.1) and not PowerShell 7

You're right. I was using Powershell 5.1. To fix this I had to

winget install -e --id Microsoft.PowerShell -v 7.2.9.0

winget install -e --id Microsoft.PowerShell -v 7.2.9.0

Then I had to go click the gear in the powershell window of visual studio and add the path to the 7.2.9 version of powershell. Then it worked!
