Start with Install-Module in PSModule.psm1 at line 9711, then trace the PackageManagement\Install-Package call shown in the error. Reproduce both the non-elevated CurrentUser and elevated commands on the reported environment, and identify why the requested PowerShellGet version does not install. Done means the command succeeds with the appropriate scope or elevation.
