I downloaded the MSI and install it on Windows 8.1 (build version is 9600.18258.amd64fre.winblue_ltsb.160303-0600). When I tried to run PowerShell_6.0.0.7.exe (the shortcut created by the msi), I got the error "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

    The package is targeted to Win10. We need to build/publish packages for downlevel platforms for this to work.

    Building a Win8.1 specific package using build.psm1 and having the VC++ CRT runtime as prerequisite works for 8.1

    Start-PSBuild -Runtime win81-x64

    VC++ CRT Runtime:
