dotnet tool install fails without explanation on dotnet 6

[carlin-q-scott]

When I try to install the dotnet cli tool globally

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-script

I get this response:

Failed to install tool package 'dotnet-script': Access to the path 'C:\Users\me.dotnet\tools.store.stage\yz1gqtsw.afe' is denied.
Tool 'dotnet-script' failed to install. This failure may have been caused by:

• You are attempting to install a preview release and did not use the --version option to specify the version.
• A package by this name was found, but it was not a .NET tool.
• The required NuGet feed cannot be accessed, perhaps because of an Internet connection problem.
• You mistyped the name of the tool.

• I installed dotnet-ef globally without issue.
• I've deleted my tools folder to see if that was the issue, and it was not.
• I watched the .stage folder during install and it did indeed download and extract the nuget package before failing and deleting the folder.

dotnet --version 6.0.302
dotnet nuget --version 6.2.1.7

I am sorry you are running into this but this is a bug in https://github.com/dotnet/sdk and not related to the tool.
It was previously mentioned that this might be due to intermittent problems with Nuget dotnet/sdk#9381 (comment)

They have indeed fixed this issue.
