Can't install Deno on Windows

I'm trying to install deno using PowerShell using the command provided in the Deno installation guide (irm https://deno.land/install.ps1 | iex). However, when I run this command, I get the following error:

Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\piotr\.deno\bin\deno.zip' because it does not exist.
At line:39 char:1
+ Remove-Item $DenoZip
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\piotr\.deno\bin\deno.zip:String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFoundEx
   ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

Can someone help me as to why this happens?
