Exception when attempting PackageManagement upgrade #1721
Description
The issue is that PowerShell produces an exception System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand,Microsoft.PowerShell.Package Management.Cmdlets.InstallPackage when running the update package manager upon being prompted by the PowerShell VS Code extension (v2021.12.0).
- PowerShell suggests upgrading PackageManager due to a security vulnerability:
You have an older version of PackageManagement known to cause issues with the PowerShell extension. Would you like to update PackageManagement (You will need to restart the PowerShell extension after)?
- I accept this recommendation.
- PowerShell produces the following error:
PackageManagement\Install-Package : Access to the cloud file is denied At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1:1809 char:21
+ ... $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters

Turns out in preview we don't actually need to upgrade PackageManagement at all, so we're just going to take the prompt out instead 🎉
