Fluentterminal: Installer won't work on Powershell 6+ (simple fix)

Created on 28 May 2019  路  8Comments  路  Source: felixse/FluentTerminal

When running the install script, it tries to run $PsHome\PowerShell.exe which won't exist on Powershell 6:

Before installing this app, you need to do the following:
        - Install the signing certificate
Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At C:\Users\mikem\Downloads\FluentTerminal.App_0.4.1.0_Test\Install.ps1:366 char:25
+ ... inProcess = Start-Process "$PsHome\PowerShell.exe" -Verb RunAs -Argum ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand

Easily fixed, just use pwsh.exe for Powershell 6 or greater.

This should become obsolete by switching to the msi installer

Thanks Felix! Fluent's still the fastest fully featured terminal for Windows 鉂わ笍. When do you think you'll do the next release?

Just one more resize issue to be fixed. Hopefully this weekend

@felixse Any news on the new release? 馃槄

Massively looking forward to the new one. Windows Terminal is great once you know workarounds for the bugs but Fluent is way better out of the box.

@felixse Maybe this weekend? 馃槄

It was available yesterday for a short time, but I had to pull it because there was an issue with the package. Will try to fix this today
