Expand-Archive: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DestinationPath'

[gmahender]

When expanding zip file with -DestinationPath parameter, cmdlet is throwing error - see below for detailed error message.
My environment is Windows 10 x64 (build 16299).

F:\1> Expand-Archive -Path abc.zip -DestinationPath f:\1\temp
Expand-Archive : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DestinationPath'.

@gmahender Looks like you are running Expand-Archive cmdlet from Pscx module, not from Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive module.

Thanks for catching my silly mistake.
I was able to unzip with -outputpath parameter.

Expand-Archive -Path .\abc.zip -OutputPath f:\1

I have run into the same issue.
This is a bit of an annoyance because on some systems Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive is used and DestinationPath works, but in other systems Pscx module is used and OutputPath works.

I need a way to standardize which module is used so my code doesn't have to take into account both.
Is there any way I can specify that my cmdlet use Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive instead of Pscx?

@tomerMP You can call a function from a specific module by prepending it with the module name.

So Expand-Archive -DestinationPath
becomes
Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -DestinationPath
