When using the command from the quick start guide, it errors

PS D:\Users\me\Development> iwr -useb https://create.tauri.app/ps | iex

Start-Process : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'ArgumentList'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an
argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.

This is powershell version 6 i believe? (whatever is the default that comes with windows 11)

So yea with the latest PowerShell 7.3.2, it works just fine. So we should probably mention that somewhere that it has to be version 7

Looks like https://github.com/tauri-apps/create-tauri-app/pull/345 broke something. pretty sure we tested the script on 5.X before and that's the only logic-changing commit i can see here
