aws-tools-for-powershell: Install-AWSToolsModule results in error of Unable to find repository "AWSToolsTemp"

Expected Behavior

I would like to use this cmdlet to install the required modules and upgrade as required as part of a module setup process I’m working on. I want it to proceed with installation or else bypass without error if the module already is correctly installed.

Current Behavior

AWS.Tools.Installer\Install-AWSToolsModule -Name 'AWS.Tools.SimpleSystemsManagement', 'AWS.Tools.S3' -RequiredVersion 3.3.563.1 -Confirm:$false -CleanUp -SkipUpdate  -AllowClobber

Trying to use AWS.Tools.Installer to manage the newer modules AWS.Tools.* results in an error message indicated:

PackageManagement\Unregister-PackageSource : Unable to find repository 'AWSToolsTemp'. Use Get-PSRepository to see all available repositories.

The problem stlll exists on Windows in January 2021. BIG problem. Any chance on a fix?

This is on a brand new Windows VM. Nothing else but Windows installed.
