Powershell import-module doesn't find modules

powershell module

The module needs to be placed in a folder with the same name as the module. In your case:

$home/WindowsPowerShell/Modules/XMLHelpers/

The full path would be:

$home/WindowsPowerShell/Modules/XMLHelpers/XMLHelpers.psm1

You would then be able to do:

import-module XMLHelpers

powershell module

1.This will search XMLHelpers/XMLHelpers.psm1 in current folder

Import-Module (Resolve-Path('XMLHelpers'))

2.This will search XMLHelpers.psm1 in current folder

Import-Module (Resolve-Path('XMLHelpers.psm1'))

powershell module

I think that the Import-Module is trying to find the module in the default directory C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules.

Try to put the full path, or copy it to C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
