Spotify's built-in updater is **not** disabled

[dionysius]

Maybe the cause which leads to #34. According to the Readme:

Spotify's built-in updater is disabled, and Scoop should be used to update it instead.

But I am asked to update within spotify:

I have latest spotify via scoop installed (and no other plugins from this repo):

λ scoop list | grep ify
  spotify-latest 1.1.57.443.ga029a6c4 [spotify]

λ scoop update spotify-latest
spotify-latest: 1.1.57.443.ga029a6c4 (latest version)
Latest versions for all apps are installed! For more information try 'scoop status'

λ scoop status
Scoop is up to date.
Everything is ok!

There seems to be files from today after I opened Spotify a few hours ago:

λ ls -lah %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update\

drwxr-xr-x 1 Dionysius 197121   0 Apr 28 15:10 ./

don't mind I'm using unix-like commands from git-extensions

[dionysius]

I've tried to reapply those 4 commands https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Spotify/blob/master/bucket/spotify-latest.json#L29-L32

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /reset /T

processed file: C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update\update.json
Successfully processed 3 files; Failed processing 0 files

λ rm -rf %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update

λ mkdir %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /deny Everyone:R

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update

                                                VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                PC-Dionysius\Dionysius:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

But it seems icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /deny Everyone:R does not work correctly

[dionysius]

I think I found the cause. My Windows doesn't have a group Everyone. Although I changed even the system language to English, it was initially German. So the correct group in my case is Jeder.

This command seems to apply what the scoop installation script for spotify-latest wants to do:

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /deny Jeder:R
processed file: C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update
C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update Jeder:(DENY)(R)
                                                NT-AUTORITÄT\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                PC-Dionysius\Dionysius:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

This looks better now

So, how can we make the script system language independent?

[dionysius]

According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/identity/security-identifiers-in-windows

S-1-1-0 | Everyone | A group that includes all users, even anonymous users, and guests. Membership is controlled by the operating system.

It seems we should use an asterisk * when working with SIDs: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25747561

So how about

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /reset /T
processed file: C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update
C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update NT-AUTORITÄT\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                PC-Dionysius\Dionysius:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update /deny *S-1-1-0:R
processed file: C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update
Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

λ icacls %LOCALAPPDATA%\Spotify\Update
C:\Users\Dionysius\AppData\Local\Spotify\Update Jeder:(DENY)(R)
                                                NT-AUTORITÄT\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
                                                PC-Dionysius\Dionysius:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

That looks like it worked correctly.

@dionysius I've fixed this issue but since @TheRandomLabs is not responding I've forked this repo and added all the fixes there. Feel free to check it out if you still need it.
