Hi Chris (@cavaliersa) thanks for the issue! Can you please add more details for your scenario that you need this for? I am also unsure which file or command you are talking about when you say
install-powershell.ps1?kilasuit commentedon Dec 1, 2024
Steven Bucher (@StevenBucher98) it is this file that they are mentioning.
I have previous PR's to this, including #19884 but it seems this isn't wanted to be kept maintained even though there are people using this, I'd be happy to add the MU options into that PR too btw.

Steven Bucher (@StevenBucher98), it is the file Ryan Yates (@kilasuit) mentioned.
This is needed for installing PowerShell 7 and later in new environment deployments. On desktop-grade Windows, this can be achieved quickly enough using winget, but it isn't available for Windows Server.
