Problem description

When trying to run winget configure test configuration.yaml (contents of the yaml file below) using the WindowsCapability resource, I get an error:

  The configuration unit failed while attempting to test the current system state.
Specified Windows Capability 'OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0' not found. (Parameter 'Name')
<See the log file for additional details>
Some of the configuration units failed while testing their state.

I've tried it with both OpenSSH.Server and OpenSSH.Client as specified in the wiki example but I had no luck, the log file is not created either

Verbose logs

No logs were created

DSC configuration
