The specified module 'Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory

Hi,

Hopefully, this is only useful temporarily until it is fixed in the installation package, but currently, if you install the Sharepoint Migration Tool module files will be copied to $env:UserProfile\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell as the documentation says.

But if you try to import the module, you will receive an error:

PS C:\Users\user\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell> Import-Module Mi
crosoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell
Import-Module : The specified module 'Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell' was not loaded because no
valid module file was found in any module directory.
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-Module Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (Microsoft.Share...Tool.PowerShell:String) [Import-Module], File
   NotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

Simply copy the Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.PowerShell folder in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules and you will be able to import it.
