When running the Coreutils for Windows installer, the setup fails with a runtime error during the PowerShell profile update phase. The pwsh-install.ps1 script hardcodes a check for the InstallDir registry value under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShellCore\InstalledVersions\<GUID>.
However, that value doesn't seem to exist on my system. Instead, I see an InstallLocation value in that same location. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe modern PowerShell installers may now use InstallLocation rather than InstallDir, at least that's what's present on my machine. The script may need to account for this newer value.
