Also tried it with the "normal" PowerShell, and Command Prompt... No luck :/

Hello @nsde , what's the value of $env:PATH after the installation?

There doesn't seem to be any scoop installation

That's weird, there should be shim dir path. I'm not sure if the well-known PATH length limit causes this since your PATH contains so many items. May I ask you to check if you can manually append scoop shim path, which should be C:\Users\<username>\scoop\shims generally to the PATH env var from the Environment Variables control panel?

Thanks! Now it works.
I saw that the Python installer had a “Disable path length limit” feature. I think I'd be really nice to have this feature here as well. :)

You could also split your PATH by copying your manually set directories to new variables and add them.
PATH could look like this: %FIRSTSTUFF%;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;etc...;%MYPATHSTUFF%;%OTHERPROGRAMS%

But only after ScoopInstaller/Scoop#5395 gets released 😁
