install.ps1 is UTF-8 without a BOM, so Windows PowerShell 5.1 decodes it as CP1252, where the literal U+2713 on the "git detected" line becomes a smart quote that terminates the enclosing string. The script then fails to parse and installs nothing; only `irm ... | iex` was unaffected, since that decodes as UTF-8 over HTTP.
