darc is not a recognized cmdlet

• This issue is blocking
• This issue is causing unreasonable pain

For Validation-for-Promotion pipeline runs that have Arcade validate on branches of bellwether repos, the execution of the build-arcadewithrepo.ps1 script is failing at https://github.com/dotnet/arcade-validation/blob/master/eng/validation/build-arcadewithrepo.ps1#L233 for the Installer repo.

The logs show that darc was installed on the machine.

Example build failure: https://dnceng.visualstudio.com/internal/_build/results?buildId=748175&view=logs&j=6989144e-9c50-5586-7b61-a9af8cea5132&t=c78d63a3-c8c6-513a-1baf-fae22b0d7c09

What is going on? I was literally just looking at that build, and it said it used a helix pool. I reload the page and it changed.

My latest fix worked in the build.
