Install not latest version of Az module install lastest version of submodule

[MasterKuat]

Description

If you you run : Install-Module -Name Az -RequiredVersion 9.6.0 you expected that sub module (ie Az.Accounts or other one) has also corresponding version but it's not the case.

Running previous command install Az.account v2.12.4 or Az.SQL v4.8.0 but required version of these module for 9.6.0 are respectivly 2.12.1 and v4.5.0. which lead to load issues.

Hi @MasterKuat I tried but could not reproduce your problem. The version of Sql for me was 4.5.0 when installing Az 9.6.0.

I see you have both 4.5.0 and 4.8.0 installed.
Could you remove all the Az modules and try again? Run Get-Module Az* -ListAvailable gives you the full list of the Az modules you installed and there location. The fastest way is to go there and delete those folders. Double check by running the cmdlet again until there's no output.

Besides, could it be that Az.Sql 4.8.0 is the dependency of another module? Maybe the higher version was not installed by Az. Please check if you install any other modules that could bring in Az.Sql 4.8.0 before or after installing Az.

Hi, @isra-fel indeed you are right for Az.sql sub-module.
It's indeed v4.5.0, my bad. But it's not the case for the messy Az.Accounts.

Installed version is the lastest 2.12.4 and not the 2.12.1 :

Hi @MasterKuat , for Az.Accounts, we deliberately designed it this way, i.e. installing Az always pulls in the latest Az.Accounts, because we want our customers to be free of security vulnerabilities, even if they may stick to an older version of Az. Besides, we don't introduce any breaking changes in Az.Accounts, to make sure it's compatibility with the other modules.

Hi @isra-fel ,

Yes, I understand but for me it's make no sense as if I want the 9.6.0 it's because latest Az.Accounts break thing like describe in : #21647

Nevermind.

[o-l-a-v]

@isra-fel Great that no breaking changes are introduced to Az.Accounts, but other Az.* modules have hardcoded version dependency on Az.Accounts, so they won't import with an older version in place. Az.PrivateDns v1.0.3 (in Az 9.6.0) fails to import saying it needs Az.Accounts == v1.8.1.

• Line 104 here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az.PrivateDns/1.0.3/Content/Az.PrivateDns.psm1
• Az v9.6.0 because of the Automation Account + Windows PowerShell 5.1 + Newtonsoft.Json issue ( Az.Resources v6.6.1 fails to import to Azure Automation Account #21647 ).

So installing Az 9.6.0 and you pulling latest Az.Accounts by design makes many of the submodules not able to be imported.

What's the point of bundling submodules into Az if they're not known and checked to work with each other? Also if installing older Az back in time.
