PR: Add Null Check for Package Feed Entries in install.ps1

Summary

Adds a null check for package feed entries in install.ps1 to prevent errors when the XML is empty or malformed.

Details

  • Previously, the script would throw a null reference exception if the package feed XML did not contain any <entry> nodes (for example, if the download failed or the XML was malformed).
  • This change adds a check to ensure that $vm_packages.feed.entry exists before attempting to process it.
  • If no entries are found, a helpful message is shown instead of crashing.

…rs on empty or malformed XML

Prevents a null reference exception when the package feed XML does not contain any <entry> nodes.
