Steps to reproduce

When attempting to install a script hosted in the psgallery using the "install-psresource" cmdlet, I get the below errors:

Install-PSResource: Could not parse
'C:\Users\john\AppData\Local\Temp\bf32a0d9-88bd-4af8-864c-2829bb06c73d\wimwitch\3.4.6\WIMWitch.ps1' as a PowerShell script file due to missing the closing
'#>' for HelpInfo comment block
Install-PSResource: PSScriptFile could not be parsed
Install-PSResource: Package(s) 'wimwitch' could not be installed from repository 'PSGallery'.

The command that I ran to produce the above error is as follows:

install-psresource -Name wimwitch

However, I was able to successfully install the script when I used the save-script cmdlet from early versions of powershellget (versions that did not depend on and utilize psresourceget). Furthermore, this does affect all psgallery scripts, as I am able to successfully install other psgallery scripts using "install-psresource" successfully. This tells me that there is something specific about the wimwitch script that the module does not like when attempting to parse it, but it is does contain the closing "#>" that psresourceget claims is missing.

Expected behavior

PS > install-psresource -Name wimwitch
(Script successfully installs on computer)

Actual behavior

PS > install-psresource -Name wimwitch

(See above error)
