Bug Report

Current Behavior

I am trying to install Scoop. Running in the installer script (https://get.scoop.sh) fails:

PS> & .\install-scoop.ps1

Expected Behavior

I expect Scoop to install without any errors reported.

Could you please try this first and see if works?

We are now seeing this same issue on our Github actions-based CI: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/runs/5460413855?check_suite_focus=true#step:3:16

[niheaven]

Sorry, will be fixed today, and please use a pre-release script that I mentioned above.

i tried this way, but it's not work
got an error message
Running the installer as administrator is disabled by default, use -RunAsAdmin parameter if you know what you are doing.

I reinstalled the app when this bug was fixed, everything is ok.
Thank you for your reply

Is this new? This looks like a breaking change on our side as the script was working fine in GH Actions context before, but now needs to be done differently without any change.

[rashil2000]

It's an updated and standalone installer written by @chawyehsu.

It looks like it's breaking a lot of automated actions which run as admin. @chawyehsu can we introduce a workaround for this to have parity with the old installer?

[AndrewSav]

@rashil2000 this issue is closed, do we need a new one to track the concern in your message?

[rashil2000]

The Readme for installation has been updated.

Попробуй
iex "& {$(irm get.scoop.sh)} -RunAsAdmin"

[square-story]

Попробуй iex "& {$(irm get.scoop.sh)} -RunAsAdmin"

thanks 👍
it's work for me

[muhammad-fiaz]

Попробуй iex "& {$(irm get.scoop.sh)} -RunAsAdmin"

yes this works :)

Ensure the command is executed in a PowerShell with administrative privileges:

iex "& {$(irm get.scoop.sh)} -RunAsAdmin"

also this has been reported with the same solution on Stackoverflow
