Error details
Seems that creating an instance of WScript.Shell is causing the PS sdk library to hang (looping, since there is cpu usage going on). This is specific to using the --runtime parameter on publish. Publishing without specifying runtime does not hang, and running from sources in Debug and Release does not hang either. Removing creation of WScript.Shell from the script file makes it pass without issues.
Tested in SDK 7.1.5, the latest release for Net5 applications.

See the explanation here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/16525#issuecomment-983108982
As for the hang, it’s because the built-in module folder is not deployed along with your project. It was fixed by https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/16628 to detect that a built-in module is missing.
@genriquez I will try later on the same version and give you a feedback if I found something.
