Start with tests/Shared/InstallSdk.targets at line 37 and inspect the failing run 29612218857, especially the Tests / Prepare Homebrew installer artifacts / Prepare Homebrew cask job. Determine why the Windows runner cannot download dotnet-install.ps1 from builds.dotnet.microsoft.com, and consider the issue complete when this CI job can prepare the artifacts successfully.
