pwsh instruction to deploy powershell-core

• First, invoke legacy powershell since we are updating the core version

Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList '-NoExit', '-NoLogo', '.\Init-App admin' -Verb Runas -ErrorAction 'stop'

• Then, we deploy/upgrade,

Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/master/tools/install-powershell.ps1 -OutFile install-powershell.ps1
install-powershell -Destination D:\PFiles_x64\choco\pwsh
Remove-Item install-powershell.ps1

UseMSI does not support custom destination,

.\install-powershell -UseMSI -Destination D:\PFiles_x64\choco\pwsh

throws error: Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters
