There was an IO error creating the wapm_packages directory …

Since spectrum.chat is dead and there's no discussion for wapm, let me ask here:

Any idea why this error happens?
The following is using PowerShell 7.2 (administrator) on Windows 11 Pro.

PS C:\Users\jh> $env:WASMER_DIR = "C:\Program Files\wasmer"
PS C:\Users\jh> iwr https://win.wasmer.io -useb | iex
Fetching lastest release...
Downloading Wasmer...
Installing Wasmer...
Adding Wasmer to ENV:Path C:\Program Files\wasmer\bin...
Adding Wasmer bin directory (C:\Program Files\wasmer\bin) to Environment path...
Wasmer installed
Run 'C:\Program Files\wasmer\bin\wasmer --help' to get started
PS C:\Users\jh> wapm install cowsay
[INFO] Installing syrusakbary/[email protected]
Error: Failed to install packages. Could not install package(s). There was an IO error creating the wapm_packages directory for package "syrusakbary/cowsay 0.2.0". Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden. (os error 3)

User variables:

path=[…]C:\Program Files\wasmer\bin
WASMER_CACHE_DIR=C:\Users\jh\.wasmer\cache
WASMER_DIR=C:\Program Files\wasmer

Symtem variables:

Any hints?
