bin/install.ps1 : very strange powershell execution policy check

[copdips]

Hello,

https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/blob/master/bin/install.ps1#L15 says:

# show notification to change execution policy:
if((Get-ExecutionPolicy) -gt 'RemoteSigned' -or (Get-ExecutionPolicy) -eq 'ByPass') {
    Write-Output "PowerShell requires an execution policy of 'RemoteSigned' to run Scoop."
    Write-Output "To make this change please run:"
    Write-Output "'Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser'"
    break
}

Which means that any executionpolicy greater than RemoteSigned cannot install scoop.
But Bypass is greater than RemoteSigned that cannot install scoop ?

> Get-ExecutionPolicy ; (Get-ExecutionPolicy) -gt 'RemoteSigned'
Bypass
True

I managed to install scoop by downloading the file install.ps1 locally and removing the if block.

Could you please check the if condition.

Did the installation with Bypass work?
Maybe I made a mistake and it should have been -neq 'ByPass'.

Information for myself:

[System.Enum]::GetValues([Microsoft.PowerShell.ExecutionPolicy]) |
Sort-Object -Property @{Expression = {[int]$_}; Descending = $False} |
% { "$([int]$_) => $_" }

0 => Unrestricted
1 => RemoteSigned
2 => AllSigned
3 => Restricted
4 => Bypass
5 => Undefined

Yes currently bypass cannot install scoop

I think your suggestion on -neq 'ByPass' should fix the issue.
Or make an explict choose of the execution policy ( (Get-ExecutionPolicy).ToString()) instead of the int comparaison. Because it's a little bit strange to set the ByPass at 4, nobody outside of the powershell team can know why, this is too internals.
