Description

Hi I have error when I try to build packed for guest configuration

Exception: Found a dependency on resources from the PSDesiredStateConfiguration module, but we cannot copy these resources into the Guest Configuration package.
Please switch these resources to using the PSDscResources module instead.

My code for this to test

```powershell

Configuration CreateFileExample
{
#Import-DscResource -ModuleName PSDscResources

Node localhost
{
File ExampleFile
{
DestinationPath = "C:\Temp\example.txt"
Ensure = "Present"
Contents = "This file was created by DSC."
Type = "File"
}
}
}

CreateFileExample

```

Build MOF file

```powershell

/*
@TargetNode='localhost'
@GeneratedBy=mmach
@GenerationDate=03/09/2026 21:13:32
@GenerationHost=XXXX-MICHAL
*/

instance of MSFT_FileDirectoryConfiguration as $MSFT_FileDirectoryConfiguration1ref
{
ResourceID = "[File]ExampleFile";
ModuleName = "PSDesiredStateConfiguration";
DestinationPath = "C:\\Temp\\example.txt";
Type = "File";
Contents = "This file was created by DSC.";
Ensure = "Present";
SourceInfo = "C:\\Users\\mmach\\OneDrive\\Skrypty\\DSC\\AzureDay-example\\GuestConfiguration\\dsc-file.ps1::7::9::File";

ModuleVersion = "1.0";

ConfigurationName = "CreateFileExample";

};
instance of OMI_ConfigurationDocument

{
Version="2.0.0";

MinimumCompatibleVersion = "1.0.0";

CompatibleVersionAdditionalProperties= {"Omi_BaseResource:ConfigurationName"};
