The build fail when the [userinfo field](https://maven.apache.org/wrapper/index.html#using-basic-authentication-for-distribution-download) is set in the distributionUrl for type only-script, but only for mvnw.cmd. The mvnw scripts runs without error on Linux.

Research direction

Start with mvnw.cmd and compare its handling of distributionUrl userinfo with the Linux mvnw script. Reproduce the issue with .\mvnw.cmd clean -N using the documented basic-authentication setup; done means the Windows wrapper downloads the distribution without the 401 error and starts Maven.
