@Zcooger Can you test these manifests to see if they work correctly?

scoop bucket add MyScoop 'https://github.com/Zliced13/MyScoop'

scoop install avisynth

scoop install avisynthplus

The registry files seem suspicious, here's a hint - Notepad++ reports these as:

• AviSynth_Template.reg: Unix (LF) UTF-8.
• install.reg: Windows (CR LF) UTF-8 BOM.
• uninstall.reg: Windows (CR LF) UTF-8 BOM.

[Zcooger]

Regular Avisynth un/install registry files are: Windows (CR LF) UTF-16 LE BOM The template is encoded as: Windows (CR LF) UTF-8. Running them manually through doubleckick does not cause any errors.

[FlawlessCasual17]

Ok I changed the manifest so that the created .reg files will be re-encoded in UTF16 LE instead of UTF8. Try updating the bucket and reinstalling avisynthplus.

[Zcooger]

Looks good, no errors on un/install.

[FlawlessCasual17]

Thank you for testing it.
