If you update your version of PowerShellGet to at least like... 1.6 I think... This should go away.

I guess we're not handling the scenario for old versions of PowerShellGet that still ship with Windows PowerShell...

[TylerLeonhardt]

I have this throwing the proper error if the user doesn't have PowerShellGet 1.6 or higher. I would install it on behalf of the user... but PowerShellGet is particularly tricky to update.

GitHub really needs an Indeed emoji. :-)

I think you forgot to update the "Development" instructions in the README?
