(visualstudiocode) Get-PackageParameters is not recognized when installing using Install-Package

[jbolduan]

While PackageManagement believe's it's installed VisualStudioCode 1.8.1 it's not actually completing and it appears to be failing on one of the Chocolatey core extensions for some reason. Below is the command line I was using as well as the output of the verbose/debug logs.

Installing using the command line:

Install-Package -ProviderName "Chocolatey" -Name "VisualStudioCode" -Force -Verbose -Debug

I get the following output from the console when running this command.

I've confirmed that I have the chocolatey-core.extension.1.0.5 installed (or at least the folder shows up in C:\Chocolatey\lib. Previous versions of this installer have worked through the PackageManagement module but it doesn't appear to work any longer. If you need additional information let me know.

I wonder if maybe the powershell PackageManagement don't support importing chocolatey extensions (I'm almost sure I read somewhere that the provider used is using several years old code).
Have you tried installing it directly with choco install visualstudiocode?

I don't really have any experience when it comes to the Install-Module cmdlet, so let me reference some people that may help on this.

It doesn't - please use choco until you hear otherwise. Follow this thread - chocolatey-community/chocolatey-oneget#5
