Description
SUMMARY
To work around a known issue in Pscx 3.3.2 I tried the proposed workaround and installed the pre-release version: Install-Module pscx -AllowPrerelease -Force
. That version renames Expand-Archive
to Expand-PscxArchive
.
This prevents overriding the built-in Expand-Archive
, but the built-in command has a different parameter for the destination.
In the Pscx Expand-Archive
this was -OutputPath
and in the PowerShell Expand-Archive
this is -DestinationPath
. The win_unzip
module expects the Pscx version and uses OutputPath
.
So I can either install Pscx 3.3.2 and override several built in commands, or I can install Pscx 4.0.0 beta but then the win_unzip
module breaks.
I understand this is a pre-release version of Pscx, but I thought I would bring it up such that it could be adjusted in time.
