Several Pester suites handled
PSDesiredStateConfigurationinconsistently: some always attempted installation, while others dereferenced.Versionon a potentially missing module. This makes test bootstrap brittle in environments where the module is absent or repository access is unavailable.Normalize module detection
PSDesiredStateConfigurationinstallation behind an explicit availability check instead of assuming the module is already present.Preserve version-specific behavior where required
2.0.7requirement in the suites that already depend on it, but check for that version safely before installing.Remove unconditional installs
PSDesiredStateConfigurationon every run to install only when the module is not already available.Files updated
