The person who provided this feedback is trying to install the module using the x86 version of Windows PowerShell. As noted in the article, PowerShell 7 is recommended for the the Microsoft.Graph.Entra module. Their use of the x86 version is particularly odd. :) That said, I did try following the installation steps in Windows PowerShell x86 and the x86 PowerShell ISE. Both worked as expected.

Beyond that, it looks like some formatting, details, and characters were corrupt or lost during copy/paste of the error message. Note "At C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1" which is not a valid path.

This one sounds like a snowflake. :)
