Getting "Unable to find type" Error when trying to install playwright

See original GitHub issue

While following these set up steps trying to install Playwright on my Mac: https://playwright.dev/dotnet/docs/intro#installing-playwright

I’m getting the following error when executing this command: pwsh bin/Debug/net6.0/playwright.ps1 install

Error: InvalidOperation: /Users/–/–/Test/bin/Debug/net6.0/playwright.ps1:5:6 Line | 5 | exit [Microsoft.Playwright.Program]::Main($args) | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Unable to find type [Microsoft.Playwright.Program].

Has anyone been able to overcome this issue?

Want to report that uninstalling my current version of pwsh and installing the latest fixed this issue for me. Went from 7.0.0 to 7.3.2.

Closing since we can’t repro and it seems stale. If you find something useful why this is happening, let us know and we’re happy to adjust documentation, since this is the first time this issue is occuring for our users.
