I tried it and got the following error:

Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

Not sure what used to be returned but this error is caused by the "-SkipLast 1" parameter on the select-object at the end of $downloadUri = ((Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $releasesUri).assets | Where-Object name -like $filenamePattern ).browser_download_url as this line currently only returns 1 item.
The script also threw this error for me on server 2022 for a missing dependency "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8" which can be resolved by pulling down and installing https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/releases/download/v2.8.5/Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.8.x64.appx. I added this in my fork if you want to integrate it.
I think that the | Select-Object -SkipLast 1 bit needs to be removed now. Perhaps something has changed recently in the output of that command.
I tried to run this on Windows Server 2019, but the build number was too small. So I ran it on Windows Server 2022, and now it just won't launch. I am weeping, bitterly, without even slicing any onions. Any ideas as to why this might happen?
Sorry, I should have given the error message:
