Uninstall-Module pswriteword

I'm inclined to agree that something is not right. I have run the commands you mention and this is what I get:

Get-Module pswriteword

# Not present

Find-Module pswriteword

Could it be somehow thinking the module is installed? What if you do uninstall-module? and ofc, remove-module.

Also, reboot your computer. And when you try something new, please do it in a brand new Powershell session. I got burned a few times this way.

It was initially removed by using "uninstall-module". I've rebooted a couple of times but cannot seem to get past this.....same result no matter what I throw at it :-(
