### What You Are Seeing?
The specific error message (happens for any/all packages including installation of Chocolatey):

The specified module 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\helpers\chocolateyInstaller.psm1' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
ERROR: This module uses the dot-source operator while exporting functions using wildcard characters, and this is disallowed when the system is under application verification enforcement.

This happens after the August 14th 2018 KB4343909 update from Microsoft on Windows 10. Here's a clip from the TechNet article describing the changes to default PowerShell behavior.

"Addresses a vulnerability related to the Export-Modulemember() function when used with a wildcard (*) and a dot-sourcing script. After installing this update, existing modules on devices that have Device Guard enabled will intentionally fail. The exception error is “This module uses the dot-source operator while exporting functions using wildcard characters, and this is disallowed when the system is under application verification enforcement.” For more information, see https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2018-8200 and https://aka.ms/PSModuleFunctionExport.""

### What is Expected?
Script to execute, software to install, anything!

### How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
When PowerShell runs in Constrained Language mode. Enabling AppLocker or deploying any sort of DeviceGuard policy will cause this to happen. I have not deployed any sort of DeviceGuard policy, but my AppLocker rules specifically allow scripts signed with Chocolatey certificate to run, which had been working well until this recent change by Microsoft. Below is an output of what happens when trying to run install.ps1 manually from the root of my OS volume. (downloaded from 'https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1')
