PnP PowerShell modules
Hi Dean_Gross,
it looks like you've got two versions installed.
you might want to try the following:
$modules = get-module -ListAvailable | where {$_.Name -eq "SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline"} foreach($module in $modules) { Write-Host $module.Name $module.Path }This should give you the location of the modules.
I had a spring clean today of my PnpCommandlets as I want to ensure I stick to the new syntax Anyway I uninstalled each of the older versions and then I ran the update-module. Doh! I now have 2 versions installed. Ok, I will try remove the older one so do this the interactive way.
uninstall-module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline -AllVersions -Confirm
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?

This confuses me as I am not running any PnpCommandlets .. Do I need to remove-module before uninstalling it?
Daniel Westerdale, it looks like that version has been installed with an installer.
You're getting the error becsause the modules have been loaded wihtin a PowerShell session. You could try closing all PowerShell session. ( Check Task Manager for anything PowerShell like)
Then I would try and deinstall using the installer ( Add/remove programs)
Yes you were spot on .. even though I had closed ISE it was still present in the Task Manager. I ran a Cmder PS Console window for a change and it the above command has removed all SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline modules which suprised me as I thought I would be prompted for the one I wanted to keep. I installed the latest and greatest .. Thanks for you help
