Fresh / firsttime installation of v0.23.0 fails, but upgrading from 0.21.1 works

[jhb]

ℹ Computer information

• PowerToys version: 0.23.0
• PowerToy Utility: Installer
• Running PowerToys as Admin: -
• Windows build number: [run "winver"] 19041.508

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Have a (relatively) new windows, where powertoys was never installed before
2. Download exe from github
3. Click install as normal user
4. Wait very, very long - the install never finishes.

✔️ Expected result

Have a quick install experience, with powertoys being available after the install.

❌ Actual result

A very slow install notification in the message pane (or whatever its called), which finally will stall at 99%.

Workaround

Fix this by installing 0.21.1 first, and then upgrade from there

@jhb If you have winget try:

winget install powertoys

Winget is package manager for Windows

@alannt777 I have it installed by using the the described workaround.

@jhb Ok

Wait very, very long - the install never finishes.

This doesn't provide enough information to be able to do any investigation.
At what point during the installation did it stop?

[jhb]

@enricogior as I wrote, it never finishes, but stalls at 99%. Ok, I didn't wait for eternity, but waited for maybe 20mins or so, then rebooted.

PowerToys was not present in the StartMenu?
