Validate-Msys2.ps1 fails on missing tar #898
Description
Describe the bug
We're unable to build images using the win19/20200517.1 tag, and are failing a few hours into the process during running the newly-added Validate-Msys2.ps1 (#632). Log output below reports managedimage instead of vhd, since a pipeline I set up patches Windows2019-Azure.json to generate a managed image instead of a VHD, but otherwise doesn't change the file. We were able to use the win19/20200511.1 tag successfully (the previous tag).

Question, Bug, or Feature?:
Bug
Virtual environments affected
- macOS 10.15
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Windows Server 2016 R2
- (possibly affected, we don't build this image variant so I can't confirm one way or another)
- Windows Server 2019
Expected behavior
Packer successfully builds the Windows2019-Azure.json image.
Actual behavior
Packer fails while building the Windows2019-Azure.json image. Not doing anything special with running Packer beyond patching the .json to output a managed image (instead of a VHD in a storage account).
