[Bug] Installation Failure

[jothplayz]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

I used the standard installation method, but it then returns path not found and a path where the install.ps1 file is, as well as trying to open git.

Expected Behavior

It supposed to push through the installation procedure smoothly.

Additional context/output

Do you have an antivirus or something that's quarantining/deleting PowerShell scripts?

[jothplayz]

None that I know of. I use Windows Antivirus.

Has there been any advice, changes, etc regarding this issue? I just tried to install, found this issue and tried turning off windows defender (detection and firewall) and still no change.

When I run the command it immediately asks to select the program to open git, I have tried ....bin/git.exe, and the two git selections in the pop-up, but all have the same result.

This error appearing, me selecting git, a new powershell window opening and then immediately closing and no files being downloaded and only the shims directory being added.

This seems like a great project, but only if I can get it installed.

I'm running Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2

@Jeffmackinnon Could you please run it in verbose mode and paste the output?

$VerbosePreference='Continue'; irm get.scoop.sh | iex

[Jeffmackinnon]

I think I know what's going on. Its not pausing to allow for the "selection" of git before continuing on. Not sure how to solve this issue as git.exe is already the default program for git

If I manually clone those repos and then go again, should it install properly?

[chawyehsu]

The installer will use system git to clone Scoop repos and fallback to download zip files when git is not available. You may work around it by marking git unavailable temporarily:

$backup=$env:PATH
$env:PATH="$env:PATH" # remove the path where `git` is, e.g. C:\Program Files\Git\bin
irm get.scoop.sh | iex
$env:PATH=$backup

I will introduce an option to force to download zip files.

This is weird as I've never seen such pop-ups for git command, it should be called without needing to ask. May I have a scrrenshot of the pop-up?
