`Get-InstalledPSResource` does not return scripts

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

Seems #1187 was closed prematurely, this has not been fixed in v0.5.23-beta23.

This is not the same as the feature request for adding -Type to said cmdlet ( #1075 ): Not specifying -Type should return any PSResource, which includes both scripts and modules.

I just tested and I’m not getting the XML file when I use Save-PSResource -IncludeXML on a script, so I think that’s the bug here. I’ll open a new issue with that problem specifically.

[o-l-a-v]

I use save to overwrite where it installs to, as I don’t want modules and scripts installed to OneDrive if known folder move is enabled and I install in user context.

• Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResouceGet still does not respect PSModulePath, right?

Save-PSResource has a switch for including XML, but no XML is added when saving a script. So maybe the bug is that Save-PSResource -IncludeXml does not create the XML file?
