TranslucentTB-np does not work

[SiyuChen]

Bug Report

Package Name: TranslucentTB-np.

Current Behaviour

It does not really install. One can't find it in the win10 start menu.

Expected Behaviour

A clickable icon should be created in the win10 start menu, then one can make the taskbar transparent by launching TranslucentTB

Additional context/output

Possible Solution

Instead of using TranslucentTB.bundle.msixbundle, we should use TranslucentTB.appinstaller.

"Add-AppxPackage \"$dir\TranslucentTB.appinstaller\" -AppInstaller"

Also, see the earlier json: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/commit/bdb12b16c66604f13fe1d18bab9d94e704417fb6

Fixed, it should work now. @SiyuChen can you test it please after running scoop update?

[FlawlessCasual17]

It works fine for me. Is there some sort of program like an antivirus that is causing problems for your system?

[SiyuChen]

@Zliced13 I don't have any antivirus on my laptop. After some tests, I think the problem comes from Add-AppxPackage.

Please see the following screenshots :

So, it seems that my laptop is only happy with Add-AppxPackage .\TranslucentTB.appinstaller -AppInstaller.

*.msixbundle does not work and -AppInstaller is necessary for some reason.

This translucenttb-np.json then works fine for me

@SiyuChen Try it again, it should work this time.

[SiyuChen]

Thank you very much! Confirm it works now. Is it going to be put into the nonportable bucket soon?

[FlawlessCasual17]

Hopefully yes.
