AWS.Tools.Installer 2.0.0 compatibility bug

[gfody]

Describe the bug

prior to 2.0.0 the tool names would be accepted as the first argument, eg we had an automation running something like this:

Install-AWSToolsModule Common, EC2, ECS, ECR, Route53, S3

..a few hours ago this code started throwing

Install-AWSToolsModule: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'System.Object[]'

to workaround we have to specify -Name eg:

Install-AWSToolsModule -Name Common, EC2, ECS, ECR, Route53, S3

Thanks for reporting this issue, and yes this is related to the new version of the installer released earlier today.

For now, we unlisted the 2.0.0 version from the PSGallery, and we'll re-evaluate before releasing this update again.

[jnunn-aws]

Please uninstall AWS.Tools.Installer V2 and reinstall V1 on any affected systems.

AWS.Tools.Installer V2 contains several fixes for customer issues in our backlog and some of these fixes require breaking changes. We will post a blog post announcement to provide advance notice before releasing again. Please ensure that production workloads are not configured to install major or even minor versions without prior testing. For examples of syntax that controls versioning see our V5 migration guide.
