Possibly just me, but I had a hard time re-installing the latest pulumi on my Windows machine. I renamed the existing install and started fresh. I had to do two weird things after running the powershell script:

• Run `pulumi plugin install` to get an AWS-related executable installed
• Manually move `resource-aws-v0.16.2.tmp` to `resource-aws-v0.16.2` (the plugin installation kept failing with the message:

 ```
"Error: installing [resource plugin aws-0.16.2] from <https://api.pulumi.com>: rename C:\Users\Justin\.pulumi\plugins\resource-aws-v0.16.2.tmp C:\Users\Justin\.pulumi\plugins\resource-aws-v0.16.2: Access is denied.")
```

<@UDLHQLKB4> I think this is due to <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2217> which is fixed and released, but we haven't yet updated the default installer link to the new release.  For now you can get it at <https://get.pulumi.com/releases/sdk/pulumi-v0.16.5-windows-x64.zip>, and we'll be updating to make that the default in the next couple hours.

Yes, this is the issue <@UB3BGTV63> linked to.  Either adopting the newer version or just doing the rename manually, as you did, will work.
