Hello,
I am working with Powershell Core 6 and when I try to import-module, it fails to load the module stating no valid module file was found in any module directory.
The Install-Module commands works fine, but importing fails.

PS C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\sql>  Import-Module C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\dbatools\1.1.145\dbatools.psm1
Import-Module : The specified module 'C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\dbatools\1.1.145\bin\dbatools.dll' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module

When I import the module in Windows Powershell (default) it works fine and I am able to use the functions within dbatools as well. But when trying to use with Powershell Core 6 it fails. Can you please provide steps on how I should be importing or fix the above erorr that I am getting.

hello @nyalpellyomkar07 can you please run this, restart powershell, and see how it works for you

Install-Module dbatools -AllowPrerelease -Scope CurrentUser

this is prerelease2 of dbatools 2.0, which contains a ton of fixes
