Steps to reproduce

I saw the GA notice go out (good job getting to GA) and tried to update to the latest and accidently forgot to prefix the module name so it was not found. This produced a generic error message that the module was unable to be installed but in reality it failed due to it not existing.

Please update the failed install error text to say why it failed (module not found, etc).

Install-PSResource PSResourceGet -PassThru

Install-PSResource: Package(s) 'PSResourceGet' could not be installed from repository 'PSGallery'.

Expected behavior
