Unable to find type [Privileges]

[jmbreuer]

I'm trying to use PoshPrivilege on Windows 10 (22H2, 10.0.19045), PowerShell 7.6.3 (since I need a working Set-Acl -LiteralPath in conjunction with this, the shipped PS 5.1 is not an option).

After installing via Install-Module -Name PoshPrivilege, when trying to run any of the provided commands, I get (for example):

PS> Get-Privilege
InvalidOperation: \\local.domain\DFS\User$\Home\...\PowerShell\Modules\PoshPrivilege\0.3.0.0\Scripts\Get-Privilege.ps1:101
Line |
 101 |          [Privileges[]]$Privilege,
     |          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Unable to find type [Privileges].

What am I missing to make this work?

OK, it is a PowerShell 7 thing - in PowerShell 5.1 on the same machine PoshPrivilege works.

Through some digging (running Import-Module PoshPrivilege -Force -Verbose gave a ton of error messages pointing me in the direction of DefineDynamicAssembly), I found this.

Equipped with that knowledge, Import-Module PoshPrivilege -UseWindowsPowerShell -Force -Verbose allows PoshPrivelege to work within PowerShell 7, no errors on loading or so far for me.

On the page mentioned above I see that there's also a method to get this done implicitly, but I haven't dug further for now.
