I need to replace the SevenZipExtractor package as a dependency, since it does not work.

Actually, the problem was the Invoke-WebRequest somehow corrupting the downloaded bytes.

@rinilnath , I have updated the code and tested it. You can either download the cmdlet and import it as a module

<# Get xmllint installer #> (New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mavaddat/f021e09f8c2d492e19959a9978b42544/raw/22512df43b3e11c72c2849dcae33e248a09f6cbe/xmllistInstaller.ps1') | Out-File -FilePath $env:TEMP\xmllistInstaller.ps1 -Verbose
Import-Module -FullyQualifiedName $env:TEMP\xmllistInstaller.ps1 -Verbose -Cmdlet Install-XmlLint
# Install xmllint into the default location
Install-XmlLint -Force -Verbose -Confirm:$false

Or, use the Invoke-Expression on the remote string to run the script:

<# Install xmllint #> iex (New-Object -TypeName System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mavaddat/f021e09f8c2d492e19959a9978b42544/raw/a121f0879efbb4ccb2c942605b3432531ce16cb9/xmllistInstaller.ps1')
