I am getting the following error when installing Entity Framework with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition:

I have tried bricelam's solution here, but neither replacing the psm1 file nor copy-pasting the text works, and produces the following:
Import-Module : File \\Mac\Home\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\Vidly\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3\tools\EntityFramework.psm1 cannot be loaded. The file \Mac\Home\Documents\Visual St udio 2015\Projects\Vidly\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3\tools\EntityFramework.psm1 is not digitally signed. The script will not execute on the system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details..

This is all in an effort to run enable-migrations, which, naturally, failed.
If it matters, I am running Windows 7 x64 using Parallels on a MacBook Pro.
EDIT Mark Sowul's answer below points to the fact that using a network share, a Parallel's feature, would cause this issue. I am unsure how to change the directory, however.
