To work around the PowerShell 7 install issue, I opened a Windows PowerShell elevated pro mpt and did a
Uninstall-IcingaForWindows
I then followed the same exact install instructions and process under Windows PowerShell and everything worked just fine.

Also, after installation it was not clear to me that I have to do a:
Icinga2 ca list
Icinca2 ca sign <thumbprint>
