Fail to initialize plugins dialog after performing manual installation #35

When extracting the contents of winget-powertoys-1.3.0.zip to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins" (not %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\RunPlugins as the README states) and restarting PowerToys, I get the following error message.

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins" appears to be the correct path for PowerToys Run plugins, as all the other plugins I've installed there work fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I can't quite fathom how "release.ps1" installs PowerToysRunPluginWinget. It appears to be intended to package PowerToysRunPluginWinget into a zip file after it's been built. Or at least that's what it seems like to me. I can't recall the last time I used 7-Zip's command line tool, if ever. But even when testing the "release.ps1", changing the various paths to match how I expect it might work, results in nothing happening (no files are extracted or compacted). This may be down to my not quite understanding the behavior of the overwrite mode or other the other switches for 7z.exe.

Anyway, I can't seem to install PowerToysRunPluginWinget and I don't know why. I'd appreciate some guidance, thank you.
