Steps to reproduce
Currently the path is only built from psmodule path if the scope is null, which would not normally happen

Current plan is to only provide support for hard coded paths. IE, install will only install to hard coded paths. Get-InstalledPSResource is a little more unclear. V2 does search within PSModulePath, however is it necessary to search within those paths if the concept behind "Install" is that PSGet manages the module lifecycle for you? That is to say, if you save to an arbitrary path PSGet will not necessarily be able to find it, and saving to the PSModulePath would be comprable to saving to an arbitrary path, so does PSGet need to support this scenario right now?
In the near future we plan to have support for PSModulePath, however what to do in the meantime is still a bit up in the air.
