I notice this comment in the code:

# Works between powershell 6.0 and 7.0, but not >= 7.1

Does that mean I need to downgrade power shell?

@jazzay yes Powershell core 7.1 is not yet supported yet because it has issues with using GAC dependencies.

Could you run windows powershell (i.e. blue icon) instead of using powershell core (i.e. black icon)? Try pressing WIN + R and enter powershell.exe should get you Windows powershell. Windows Powershell version should be v5.1. and it should run fine.

@jazzay did you manage to resolve this? if so i will close the issue.

closing for inactivity.

For future readers, as of v2.17.1, powershell >= 7.1 somehow no longer loads GAC dependencies PowerShell/PowerShell#11860 (comment).

Please use powershell 5.1, or powershell core 6.0 up to 7.0.
