i also have the same issue. i can install "Microsoft.Graph" but not "Microsoft.Graph.Entra".

error: Install-Package: No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'Microsoft.Graph.Entra'. Try Get-PSRepository to see

The person who provided this feedback is trying to install the module using the x86 version of Windows PowerShell. As noted in the article, PowerShell 7 is recommended for the the Microsoft.Graph.Entra module. Their use of the x86 version is particularly odd. :) That said, I did try following the installation steps in Windows PowerShell x86 and the x86 PowerShell ISE. Both worked as expected.

Beyond that, it looks like some formatting, details, and characters were corrupt or lost during copy/paste of the error message. Note "At C:\Program Files (x86)\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1" which is not a valid path.

This one sounds like a snowflake. :)

@Ryaed, we've redesigned the Entra PowerShell module to be modular with sub-modules. The work is finalized (from version 0.22.0 onwards), and we've released both the module and public docs. Could you check if the new approach works smoothly?

The new docs are closer to the General Availability version, so your feedback is highly appreciated.
