Hi,

I noticed there is a small issue when running this script upon upgrade.
Your rename-item command fails if you try to renamed over an existing module.
Once alternative would be to cleanup the posh-ssh folder, by adding this before line 14-15
Remove-Item -Path ($targetondisk+"\Posh-SSH") -Force

I am getting below error while importing the module, Could you Please help me.

supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

You should install from the PowerShell gallery and not use the gist. I will delete it today. Thanks for letting me know

You need to download, right click on the zip and unprotect, copy the internal folder to the location for PS to see it and load it https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/module/installing-a-powershell-module?view=powershell-7.1 <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/module/installing-a-powershell-module?view=powershell-7.1>
