This is the command that I used to use. However, when I tried today, I'm getting the above error.

What is the [xxx] Cannot add type errors and how can I fix it? thx

Hi suntong,

thanks for committing your problem. Cause is that you use Powershell Core (pwsh). This is currently not supported. Please use Powershell 5.1. Since I do not use pwsh on windows I will not look into this. Please try it again and give feedback, if it worked for you.

Best Regards

Indeed, run with "Powershell 5.1 on a Windows System with administrator rights" will get over it.
