Steps to reproduce
$stream = $null
$peReader = $null
try {
$stream = (Get-Item ([ref].Assembly.Location)).OpenRead()
$peReader = [System.Reflection.PortableExecutable.PEReader]::new($stream)
$memoryReader = $peReader.GetMetadata().GetReader()
# yield
$memoryReader
} finally {
if ($null -ne $peReader) {
$peReader.Dispose()
}
if ($null -ne $stream) {
$stream.Dispose()
}
