UniversalDashboard.cat missing from psgallery download. Hash mismatch

Universal Dashboard Universal Dashboard Help
1

So I’ve been experiencing some weirdness while developing a dashboard, and can’t quite figure out what the issue is. I’ve been beating my head against this for a couple of days to no avail. :anger:

I have been looking at all the verbose logging to try to track down the issue.
I noticed that when downloading from PSGallery I get a message stating that the Hash for the package doesn’t match the server, and that a cat file is missing. I can’t seem to find any indication, and received no notifications that my security software plucked it, but I’m still unsure about this one.

One of the primary Errors I’m seeing relates to the Collapsible element type (below).

Now I also was testing loading the modules independently to see if I could reproduce the issue and I hit this oddball:

Color Error 
MethodException: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\UniversalDashboard\2
.8.1\netstandard2.0\UniversalDashboard.psm1
Line |
  22 | $TAtype::Add("DashboardColor", "UniversalDashboard.Models.DashboardColor"
)
     | ^ Cannot convert argument "type", with value:
     | "UniversalDashboard.Models.DashboardColor", for "Add" to type
     | "System.Type": "Cannot convert the
     | "UniversalDashboard.Models.DashboardColor" value of type "System.String"
     | to type "System.Type"."

But this one isn’t really what I’m trying to chase down. I’ve run Imports of the UniversalDashboard PSM1 files for both community and premium side by side and the results were… interesting (Below)
Besides the poorly encoded characters being piped out of pwsh

Interestingly, when I break into the debugger in either they are both failing on trying to import UniversalDashboard.dll
