Hi, I just encountered this, what seems to work for me was after setting the execution policy I ran

Add-Type -Assembly System.Drawing

This issue was introduced in #694. But I do not understand why it didn't fail for me when I tested it 😕 My testing setup is very similar:

• Virtualization software: VirtualBox
• VM OS version: 10.0.19045
• VM PowerShell version: 5.1.19041.1682

In any case, if adding Add-Type -Assembly System.Drawing fixes the issue for you, I see no issue in adding this to the installer. I'll send a PR. Thanks for proposing a fix @coryfancypants!
