ESP-IDF-beta1 Windows Defender Exclusions

[lhuxley]

I'm trying to install the beta on Windows 8.1. I ran esp-idf-tools-setup-2.1.exe with the windows defender exclusions selected. The installer hangs when it attempts to register the exclusions. (I then ran the installer without the exclusions selected, but with the option to create a shortcut on the desktop selected. The installation completed, but I cannot find any new shortcut on the desktop.) The pertinent error message from the log is here:

hi lhuxhley,
it seems we need to improve our PS error handling, sorry for inconvenience. However, it's a bit surprising the installer hangs on this since the PS process should exit at any rate. I'm taking a look shortly and will be back to you ASAP
Thank you for your report

Regards,
Martin
