Issues configuring PSGallery package Source

[gaelcolas]

Hi,
I've tried v1.0.3 and thanks for the improvements.
I have the following issue when trying to configure PSGallery Repo to trusted:

PackageManagementSource PSGallery #This fails
        {
            Ensure      = 'Present'
            Name        = 'PSGallery'
            ProviderName= 'PowerShellGet'
            SourceUri   = 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/'  
            InstallationPolicy ='Trusted'
        }

I get the following:

However configuring, say, Chocolatey works:

PackageManagementSource Chocolatey
        {
            Ensure      = 'Present'
            Name        = 'Chocolatey'
            ProviderName= 'Chocolatey'
            SourceUri   = 'http://chocolatey.org/api/v2/'  
            InstallationPolicy ='Trusted'
        }

I forgot to say that's not a blocker because I can still install package/PSModule via setting the InstallationPolicy to trusted without changing the PackageSource config.

@gaelcolas Thanks for reporting this issue. I will look into this.

@gaelcolas May I know the build number of the Windows you are running this on. The example at https://github.com/PowerShell/PackageManagementProviderResource/blob/master/Examples/Sample_Install_Package.ps1 is working fine on my machine.

@KrishnaV-MSFT I was using an updated version of win 2012 r2 Eval. Will give you build number and details to reproduce in the next couple of days. Thanks.

Hi @KrishnaV-MSFT,
I'm testing this on a Win2012 R2 recently patched with WMF5 RTM Installed.

Let me know if any question.

Hi @gaelcolas, we cannot register or unregister the PSGallery package source on WMF 5.0 RTM.
However in TP5 or later, we added a support to allow registering/unregistering the PSGallery.
As you are running on the Down-Level OS that you can not use TP5, I can add a workaround in this DSC resource for your scenario. Stay tuned.

@gaelcolas, I made a change to MSFT_PackageManagementSource.psm1. Can you please try it and let me know if it works for you. If so I will update this module in PowerShellGallery.com. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in testing this, this is now working.
Many thanks :)
