Found this problem when running SqlServerDsc's build pipeline. The module version of xDSCResourceDesigner is 1.13.0.0, but ModuleFast are extracting the files into the module version folder 1.13.0 so the installed module is never found e.g. using Get-Module -Name xDSCResourceDesigner -ListAvailable. Changing the module version folder to 1.13.0.0 (same as module manifest version) the module is found and can be used.
