    Custom Module Folder to Exclude "MyDocument"

    Post by Dlashley »

    I was just wondering if here is a configuration where the Option to install modules to "Current user" can be mapped to a different location? I try not to use "My Documents" for this due to OneDrive for business sync. I use a custom location such as "C:\hold\MyPSModules\..." ?

    As of the latest build, you cannot set a custom location as the install location. You can move modules after install, but it can only move modules to a path defined in the environmental variable PSModulePath.

    You are welcome to submit a feature request here and our development team will look into it:
