powertoys-np@0.53.3: Installation no longer silent | Uninstaller does not fully uninstall #297

Closed versedwildcat closed 1 year ago

versedwildcat commented 2 years ago

Hey, it seems the powertoys installer has changed sometime in the last few versions. The installation is no longer silent. User has to check a box and click install. Also, scoop uninstall powertoys-np seems to no longer fully uninstall the program. It remains in the "Apps" category in the settings.

Looking at this issue https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/15797 in the PowerToys repository it looks like the installer arguments have changed.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/install#installer-arguments says it should be -silent instead of --silent

I did a PR a while back to make the install even more silent before they updated this and broke it. In any case, I had a look today and I'm not sure if there's even a point in having a non-portable install anymore. The version that's in the extra bucket works perfectly fine now unless I missed something that would require a non-portable installation.

As far as I'm aware, the only thing missing from the version in the extras bucket are the context menu entries. If those get added (possibly via a .reg file, like notepad++, for example), there won't be a need for a non-portable entry.
