Hi,
just wanted to throw this in, in case someone stumbles over the same Problem.

Make sure you use a up-to-date Powershell Version for this, i've been using my own Win7 .iso, which came with a horribly outdated PS Version.
After updating to PS 5.1+ i still had to manually edit the Script with

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

for it not to cause any SSL/TLS Errors upon fetching the files.

greetings and keep up the good work !

Thank you for this! For anyone who doesn't know what this looks like, the issue looks like this:

After further investigation, the script provided doesn't work. This issue is ran into:

Running the lordpe.flare install script itself, this is the result:

Now, this shouldn't necessarily be a hardcoded path that is being joined, but there is clearly an issue here.
This env variable needs to be set at some point to avoid failure.
So the variable needs to be set. This is also documented in flare-vm's notes here:

Starting with version 2.0, FLARE VM uses the following environment variables:

TOOL_LIST_DIR: The default value is set to %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\FLARE.
TOOL_LIST_SHORTCUT: The default value is set to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\FLARE.lnk.

The installer script sets those environment variables automatically. If there are issues during installation, please verify that those environment variables are set correctly.
