[0.9.0-rc1] Install-PSResource install latest prerelease even without '-Prerelease'. Repository: GitLab

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

These packages has been published using 'Publish-PSResource' on a GitLab package registry.

• MyModule version '1.0.0' ( last stable )
• MyModule version '1.1.0-dev' ( with prerelease property in manifest )

Install-PSResource 'MyModule'

It will install the prerelease version (1.1.0-dev) in the last stable version folder (1.0.0), which cause the module impossible to import (version does not match).

Other test works fine:

Install-PSResource 'MyModule' -Version '1.0.0'

Install version 1.0.0 correctly.

Install-PSResource 'MyModule' -Prerelease

Install version 1.1.0-dev correctly.

Expected behavior

'MyModule' version *1.0.0* is installed in version folder : "..PowerShell\Modules\MyModule\1.0.0\"

Actual behavior

'MyModule' version *1.1.0-dev* is installed in version folder : "..PowerShell\Modules\MyModule\1.0.0\"

Error details

VERBOSE: Skipping the Version folder 1.0.0 under Module C:\..\PowerShell\Modules\MyModule as it does not have a valid module manifest file.
Import-Module: The specified module 'C:\..\PowerShell\Modules\MyModule \' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

No response

Start by reproducing the issue through Install-PSResource against the GitLab package registry, comparing the default command with -Version and -Prerelease. Trace the install and version-folder handling from that entry point; done means the default install selects 1.0.0 and places it in the matching 1.0.0 folder, while -Prerelease still selects 1.1.0-dev.
