Option 2a:
Extract the ZIP file and copy the DSInternals directory to your PowerShell modules directory, e.g.
C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\DSInternals or
C:\Users\John\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\DSInternals

Extract the ZIP file to any location import the DSInternals module using the Import-Module cmdlet, e.g.

Note:
Before extracting any files from the archive, do not forget to "unblock" the ZIP file in the Properties dialog.
If you fail to do so, all the extracted DLLs will inherit this attribute and PowerShell will refuse to load them.
