I can confirm this issue. Same error messages, but mine are in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Microsoft.Entra.Applications\1.3.0

My PSVersionTable has the same output as yours.

This is due to (mostly) a bunch of cases in source where they used special characters on commented out lines or inside double quotes.

Replace double quotes with single quotes on the following lines:
3855
3983
3993
4025
4035
8952
8954

Additional fixes:

1562, 1622 replace → with >
3677, 4153, 5153, 9736 Remove the single quote ' in the commented out line
634, 661, 830, 2049, 2266, 2271, 2274, 3678, 3873, 4345, 4746 Add backtick ` before the ampersand &
4114, 4144 Add backtick ` before hashtag #
3855, 3983 Add backtick ` before the comma ,
4220-4257 Checkmark causing issues, replace double quotes with single quotes for all lines with checkmarks
8954 The closing ") is on the next line. Move it from line 8955 to the end of line 8954
8962 Export-ModuleMember accepts string input, not array. Remove the @ and the parentheses. It also doesn't like the single quotes around each item, so remove every single quote on this line
8969 The here-string doesn't seem to have any variables inside, so change the double quotes on 8969 and 9731 to single quotes

Add backticks before single quotes in all  instances of this line:
"Not connected to Microsoft Graph. Use 'Connect-Entra -Scopes Application.ReadWrite.All' to authenticate."

Replace all instances of Name,user with Name`,user
Replace all instances of Name,' with Name`,'
Replace all instances of separated, with separated`,
Replace all instances of — with -

And it actually imported and ran.

Absolutely astonishing that they didn't bother testing with Powershell 5.1. As an admin, I only program scripts that will work with every single Windows 11 PC we have.
