Tixati download link does not install anything #2430

Closed tibrusjer closed 1 month ago

tibrusjer commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug

When initiating the installer from Tixati the PowerShell begins the process and claims it succesfully installed said program, but when searching all over my drive for the program nothing show up (even when manually searching in the file explorer).

The manual installer from their website does still work.

To Reproduce

  1. start utility
  2. choose tixati checkmark
  3. click "install/upgrade"
  4. watch powershell claiming a job well done
  5. try and start the alleged installed software you still don't have installed.

Expected behavior

That said installer actually installs said software and being able to use the software after said install process.

Additional context

This is a highly LOW PRIORITY issue, mostly wondered if it is an utility issue or winget issue.

Hello @tibrusjer Thanks for reporting this, and the reason behind not finding this installed program (if you installed it via WinGet (the package manager) or WinUtil).. because it's the portable edition of Tixati, and so it's the WinGet package for it (a portable package), meaning it's downloaded/installed by WinGet to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages folder (either this foldor or somewhere else, can't remember exactly where it installs portable apps), in other words, you won't find Tixati by searching it up.

So this is a WinGet thing, not WinUtil. The reason behind using the portable edition is when I added Tixati package to winget-pkgs repo, I chose the Portable Edition and not the installer because the installer would not Silently install Therefore, it failed WinGet testing pipeline.

You can run Tixati by typing tixati_Windows64bit or tixati_Windows32bit (depending on your hardware.. but it'll most likely be 64 bit) in your terminal, then press Enter on your keyboard to run it.

I hope this answers your question. If you have anything else you're wondering about (and it's related to this issue ticket), you can post it and I'll reply as soon as I can.
