   $binDir = Join-Path -Path $env:USERPROFILE -ChildPath "bin"
   New-Item -Path $binDir -ItemType Directory -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
   $latest = Get-ChildItem -Path .\zrok*windows*.tar.gz | Sort-Object LastWriteTime | Select-Object -Last 1
   tar -xf $latest.FullName -C $binDir zrok.exe
   $currentPath = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
   if ($currentPath -notlike "*$binDir*") {
       $newPath = "$currentPath;$binDir"
       [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', $newPath, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
       $env:Path = $newPath
