both choco install or choco reinstall winget fail under win11 24H2 - ERROR: The type initializer for '<Module>' threw an exception.

Brief description of your issue

under win11 24H2 I find that trying to either install or upgrade winget using either choco install winget -y or choco upgrade winget -y I get the following errors:

choco install winget -y

Is this a regression or dependency issue in Winget-cli, or a MS issue under win11 24H2?

I have also opened up an issue under Chris Titus's winutil as he also tries to install or reinstall winget, but I think the error or issue to be fixed lies here with chocolatey our with MS?

Start by reproducing choco install winget -y on Windows 11 24H2, then inspect C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log and the mentioned microsoft-vclibs-140-00 install script. Compare the failure with the linked winutil report to determine whether the cause is winget-cli, Chocolatey, the dependency, or Windows; done means identifying the responsible component and documenting a confirmed resolution.
