Description
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
Using Powershell, Powershell v7, the CMD based approach the installer fails. Ive tried running Powershell as admin and a normal user. Both accounts have this same issue. After the installer fails, the PATH env is duplicated multiple times. The initial error seems to indicate that a download failed but then continues. The script has virtually no error checking and this breaks my system.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installer failure on Windows 10 with Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7, then compare the two linked error logs. Done means the reported CreateFolder or download failure is handled without duplicating or corrupting PATH; the issue names no source file or test to use.
