Steps to reproduce
I have a .NET 8 Application executing a lot of Powershell commands, but when I build it as a SingleFile it throws an exception.

I also opened an issue in the dotnet repo, which is to find under: dotnet/runtime #102193. There is already a very helpful comment which shows a possible way fixing the issue: Comment
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

using System;
using System.Management.Automation;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String cmd = "New-Item -Force -Type Directory -Path '%userprofile%\test123'";
PowerShell ps1 = PowerShell.Create().AddScript(cmd);
ps1.Invoke();
}
}
}
dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained false /p:PublishSingleFile=true
Expected behavior
Publish and run successfully.Actual behavior
Publish works, but application doesn' t run. At the first execution of a powershell script, following exception is thrown:
