Issue: GSudo Failing in MSStore PWSH (Failed to load hostfxr.dll)

[resech]

Issue Description

I'm unable to elevate within pwsh, though using gsudo in a cmd window works as expected. This appears to be similar to #65

Hi,

• Is your user a local admin or are you typing user & password at the UAC prompt?
• Can you try: 'gsudo -d cmd' to elevate cmd first, then call "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.1.4.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\pwsh.exe"?
• Also, open cmd as admin (without gsudo) then run "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.1.4.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\pwsh.exe"

Thanks.

I am a local admin, just get the Yes/No UAC screen.

I ran through both the methods you've mentioned, I'm getting the same error on both:

Failed to load the dll from [C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.1.4.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\hostfxr.dll], HRESULT: 0x80070005

Based on that, it looks like this is an issue with my install especially since the second method doesn't use gsudo. I'll see if I can get that sorted, thank you for the testing steps!
