setup-yak fails on windows-latest: wmic not found

[kpanko-island]

Description

The action fails on windows-latest GitHub Actions runners because it uses wmic, which has been removed from newer Windows Server images.

Error

Error: Command failed: wmic datafile where name="D:\a\_temp\6c3a6121-b0a3-47e4-b41f-6f88262ce79f"
'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
