So if you are using #winget and have issues upgrading #powershell from v7.2.7.0 to v7.3.0.0 you can use the tip earlier in this thread to upgrade - enter `winget show Microsoft.Powershell -s winget` and grab the installer download URL. You can then either download and install manually, or automate using wget to download and #msiexec to install.
This is because Microsoft changed the installer type and Winget doesn't like that.
You will then get stuck in a loop where every time you get winget to check for updates it will think you're still on v7.2.7.0 and that you need to update to 7.3.0.0 but of course you're already running that version so it does nothing. Repeat ad infinitum.
So - you need to edit the registry to fix that.
The data you want to change (on #Windows11 anyway) is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7a021f60-fb27-4c6c-8ddb-a94915da9fd8}
You need to amend the following values:
DisplayName --> Change to "PowerShell 7.3.0.0-x64"
DisplayVersion --> Change to "7.3.0.0"
You can do it the old hacky way of using REGEDIT.
OR
Using powershell, the following 2 one-liners:
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7a021f60-fb27-4c6c-8ddb-a94915da9fd8}" -Name "DisplayName" -Value "PowerShell 7.3.0.0-x64" -PropertyType String -Force
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7a021f60-fb27-4c6c-8ddb-a94915da9fd8}" -Name "DisplayVersion" -Value "7.3.0.0" -PropertyType String -Force
