otaconjh , This usually occurs due to proxy server. I have encountered same error. Please try bypassing the proxy server and check if it works.

Hi all , I have the same problem, when downloading a PowerShell module from our 'own' Nexus repository.
PowerShell version is built-in 5.1 (5.1.17763.2268) for Windows 2019. Not using a proxy.

 

Note: I'm getting the same error in the verbose output:

 

VERBOSE: Completed downloading 'https://psrespository.mycompany.com/repository/corp_ps_nuget/MyTestModule/1.0.0'.
VERBOSE: Completed downloading 'MyTestModule'.
VERBOSE: Hash for package 'MyTestModule' does not match hash provided from the server.

 

And I have the following (ugly) workaround:

  • download the file using (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile
  • create a (temp) local psrepository from the folder where file is downloaded
  • install the module from the local psrepository
  • remove the local psrepository

so this shows to me the nuget itself is not corrupt. it may have to do with the hash on the Nexus itself

 


Regards, Ben
