SQLAlias throws error on 32 bit alias

[ykuijs]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring:
On line 165 of SQLAlias the registry key for the 32 bit alias is created. On a new test environment, the MSSQLServer key (and all child keys) didn't exist yet, resulting in an error when creating the key.

After some troubleshooting I found that New-Item only creates child keys when the parent exists. When the parent does not exist, an error is thrown. This can be resolved by adding the -Force parameter to the cmdlet.

This change is also required for line 152.

The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible):
SQLAlias Alias
{
Ensure = "Present"
Name = "DBServer"
ServerName = "serverx.domain.com"
Protocol = 'TCP'
TcpPort = 1433
}

Version of the Operating System, SQL Server and PowerShell the DSC Target Node is running:
Windows Server 2016

What module (SqlServer or SQLPS) and which version of the module the DSC Target Node is running:
xSQLServer 9.0

Version of the DSC module you're using, or 'dev' if you're using current dev branch:
9.0

even on latest build with the -force parameter the error persist.
