I'm getting the same. The issue is that the script is now downloading an MSI, not an EXE. But it downloads it to a file with a .exe extension and then tries to run it like an exe. But it's an MSI. You want to run msiexec -i install-x64.msi

note: here's the PR that cause the issue: https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/pull/5929/files. In the install.ps1 change.

@SoundersFan @nbdinara fixing as we speak. My bad, didn't catch that part in the script (and also didn't validate it).
