helm version fails

[0x53A]

After updating from 1.6.0 to 2.3.1 pulumi up now fails with

    Error: Error: Command failed: helm version --short || true
        at C:\Progress\repos\customerdeployments\webapi-k8cluster\node_modules\@pulumi\helm\v2\helm.ts:238:23

if I execute helm version --short || true manually, I get the following output:

Client: v2.14.3+g0e7f3b6
Error: could not find tiller
'true' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

(the || true doesn't really make sense on windows)

throw new pulumi.RunError(e.toString());

Environment

The || true doesn't seem to be the issue, I went into C:\Progress\repos\customerdeployments\webapi-k8cluster\node_modules@pulumi\kubernetes\helm\v2\helm.js and changed it to let helmVerCmd = `helm version --short`;, but it still failed:

    Error: Error: Command failed: helm version --short

I changed it to

                var helmVer;
                try
                {
                    helmVer = child_process_1.execSync(helmVerCmd, {
                        stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'ignore'],
                    }).toString();
                }
                catch (e) {
                    helmVer = e.stdout.toString();
                }
                console.log("###helmver", helmVer);

and now it works:

###helmver Client: v2.14.3+g0e7f3b6
