@andrewsuh98 the problem is that PSGet is finding NuGet packages from the NuGet feed, and detecting they are not PowerShell content. AFAIK there is no filter in NuGet feeds by type, so this cannot be handled during the search.

I agree the error message can be improved. Could that be a post-GA issue? This does not seem to be blocking.

We can add better error handling here for when a .nupkg package is attempted to be installed yet does not contain a .ps1 or .psd1 file (i.e it is not a PowerShell resource).
