@bt4ibwem8 Run scoop update and then run the install command again

[bt4ibwem8]

hash is now ok but i got this:

[bt4ibwem8]

btw will you update Nomachine? There is the newest 8.4.2 version on their website.

[anderlli0053]

Updated, run scoop update and then install it again. BTW you should also run scoop cache rm * && scoop cleanup * && scoop checkup for old cache cleanup and the removal of new versions from time to time to release some extra disk space.

It installed now however not into scoop folder but in C:\Program Files. Is this normal?

[anderlli0053]

@bt4ibwem8 Yes, as the manifest is written like that.. There are other programs too that Scoop can install only by silently installing the regular installer, instead of extracting the files (usually if that is not possible). Another examples are 10x (scoop install 10x-np) , Files (scoop install files-np) , HP Support Assistant (scoop install hp-support-assistant-np) , Sandboxie Plus (scoop install sandboxie-plus-np) and other too

thank you. I also get these 2 errors when i run scoop checkup. Do you know if i can resolve these on Windows 7 system? For example i cannot setup VLC as my default media player because system does not see it (i think this could be related to that second warning).

For the first warning... The so called "longpath" is system "hack" or should i say feature that enables use of the file names and paths over 260 characters. For example this will not work, because the name is too long:

For the second thing;

There is no such thing as Developer Mode on Windows 7, i think from the Windows 8.1 onward there is Developer Mode. (In Windows 8.1 - Windows 10 you can run the PowerShell as administrator and input this command -> " Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration ") which will take you to the developer settings, in which you can turn the slider ON.

For the VLC, you can try setting it as the default program in the Control Panel settings, if i remember correctly or manually go over all file extensions you want to open and right click on the said file, properties > open with... > and something about use as a default program.. Or you can try with assoc command, but i would not risk it, because it can modify/corrupt some other register entries that are relevant to the system. (assoc works only in CMD - Command Prompt and not in PS - PowerShell).

C:\Users\ander>assoc /?
Displays or modifies file extension associations

ASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]]

  .ext      Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with
  fileType  Specifies the file type to associate with the file extension

Type ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations.
If ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the current
file association for that file extension.  Specify nothing for the file
type and the command will delete the association for the file extension.

Also try too look up the web, like this.

I think it would be a good time to upgrade your system to something newer, don't ya think 😄 😜

vlc is not included in the list of default programs in Control panel. Also "open with" does not work because it is not installed in Program files. Win7 does not allow me to choose program which is located in C:\Users\ sadly... And yes, i will upgrade win7 system to Fedora when the right time comes :smile: . Win7 is just perfectly working for me many years... fast and clean, IMO best system from Microsoft :) Can i tell scoop to install vlc globally instead of inside /scoop folder? Btw Peazip was installed by scoop also in user folder and is openining .zip files normally. It was even added to local menu correctly... Also have tried now qBittorent installed by scoop and it also works just fine. These programs installed by scoop are not included in default programs in Control panel but file assotiation is working correctly. So it seems to be issue with vlc only.

For the VLC thing take a look at this -> https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/issues/2651

i did but did not help me. It is issue (still open) of scoop itself. If they fix installing and registering vlc in system then will be problem solved. It affects also win10 so my win7 should not be the problem. I will try to istall some few other media apps just to see if this issue is affecting also other media players.
