The script should install Html Help Workshop, but in order to do so it needs
the user to respond to the authorization window; same for Inno Setup. If you
run the script unattended then the auth window times out and the programs don’t
get installed.
OTOH if you’re monitoring the script and authorizing the installations then
something else is going wrong. There should be some output on the powershelgl
window indicating what it is.
