Steps to reproduce

Hi,

Since PowerShell 7.6.0 the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet Module is bundled with the Install.
It's not possible to detect the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet Module anymore, because it's installed in the Program directory: C:\program files\powershell\7\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet\Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.dll

Get-InstalledPSResource only has the Scope "CurrentUser" or "AllUsers"

Expected behavior

# One of these Commands should return the Version of PSResourceGet 
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope AllUsers

Actual behavior

# Both commands fail to return the Module, because it's in the PowerShell Program Directory
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope CurrentUser
Get-InstalledPSResource -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Scope AllUsers
