These issues and fixes address install.ps1 failures on corporate-managed Windows environments where PowerShell restricts StandardErrorEncoding and stdout encoding during version probes and uv execution. The work focuses on safely capturing output from Windows version checks to avoid false negatives and access errors.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.39: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
