On PSCore6, I get an error like:

Set-ExecutionPolicy : Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6-preview\powershell.config.json' is denied. To change the execution policy for the default (LocalMachine) scope, start PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option. To change the execution policy for the current user, run "Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser".
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Unrestricted
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (:) [Set-ExecutionPolicy], UnauthorizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetExecutionPolicyCommand

I think adding the newline will make this more readable and consistent with some changes Jeffrey Snover (@jpsnover) has made to add newlines to error messages.
