Can't publish script to PowerShell gallery, getting error - powershell

Question

Publish-Script -Path "path-to-script.ps1" -NuGetApiKey 123456789
after doing that, I get this error in PowerShell 7.3:
Write-Error: Failed to generate the compressed file for script 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe failed to pack: error '.
and I get this error in PowerShell 5.1:
Publish-PSArtifactUtility : Failed to generate the compressed file for script 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe
failed to pack: error
'.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\2.2.5\PSModule.psm1:11338 char:17
+ ... Publish-PSArtifactUtility #PublishPSArtifactUtility_Param ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FailedToCreateCompressedScript,Publish-PSArtifactUtility
my script has no dependency.
this problem has been going on for the past 2 weeks.
I even gave my script with API key to a friend from another country and they receive the same error too.
how can I fix this? I've published previous versions of this script before at least 6 times.
I've tried resetting my API key and running PowerShell as admin, didn't fix it.
Update:
I installed .NET 7 runtimes x64 and used this command from this answer on PowerShell 5.1:
# find the file having wrong .NET version
$path = Get-ChildItem (Get-Module PowerShellGet -ListAvailable).ModuleBase -Recurse -File |
Select-String -Pattern netcoreapp2.0 | ForEach-Object Path
# unload the module
Remove-Module PowerShellGet -Verbose -Force -EA 0
# update the file
$path | ForEach-Object {
(Get-Content -LiteralPath $_ -Raw).Replace('netcoreapp2.0', 'net7') |
Set-Content $_
}
Import-Module PowerShellGet -Force -Verbose
# now try to publish
but still getting error:
Publish-PSArtifactUtility : Failed to generate the compressed file for script 'C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe
failed to pack: error
'.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\2.2.5\PSModule.psm1:11338 char:17
