@jonvanausdeln would you be able to share the log file mentioned in the error message ?

Extracting Positron-2024.07.0-81-Setup.exe ... ERROR Exit code was 1!
Failed to extract files from C:\Users\JonVanausdeln\scoop\apps\positron\2024.07.0-81\Positron-2024.07.0-81-Setup.exe.
Log file:
  ~\scoop\apps\positron\2024.07.0-81\innounp.log

I wonder where you error is coming from with the extraction ? Could be a Scoop error on some environment context.

[jonvanausdeln]

Sure! innounp.log

[cderv]

The error is

Error (Exception) "MoveFile failed; code 3.%nThe system cannot find the path specified" at address 0048D31C

after extracting all content. So maybe the value passed are not correct...

Or some windows specific with long path name for example...

It would definitely be safer to have a portable version of positron to unzip somewhere.

I'll see if I can be more protective in how Scoop is calling innounp so that the Dest directory is correctly passed.

I am really not sure what this means - we'll see if someone else reports it too. I can't reproduce on my side. The app is there in my case : C:\Users\chris\scoop\apps\positron\2024.07.0-81\ which is not that different than yours C:\Users\JonVanausdeln\scoop\apps\positron\2024.07.0-81 🤔

I faced the same issue with the Positron version 2024.08.0-31. Here is my innounp.log

Could it be related to the innounp path length? In my case, I have a pretty long USERNAME (office machine, cannot change it though). So Positron is installing into C:\Users\TsyplenkovA\scoop\apps\positron\2024.08.0-31

[atsyplenkov]

The error is definitely related to the length of the installation path. So, you are either lucky to have a short USERNAME, or you can install Scoop in the parent directory (i.e., C:\scoop). The following solution didn't fully work for me; I wasn't able to move all my Scoop apps to a new location. However, a fresh install of Scoop sorted everything out.

So the steps should be as follows in a PowerShell without admin rights.

⚠CAUTION, it will remove all your scoop-installed apps:

1. Uninstall Scoop via scoop uninstall scoop
2. Manually remove the %USERPROFILE%\scoop folder, if it still exists
3. Set $Env:SCOOP to C:\scoop via [environment]::setEnvironmentVariable('SCOOP','C:\scoop','User')
4. Restart PowerShell
5. Check that $Env:SCOOP is set up. It should return C:\scoop
6. Reinstall Scoop with iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')
7. Check that the folder C:\scoop is populated with Scoop
8. Add r-bucket with scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git
9. Install Positron scoop install positron

[cderv]

Thanks for finding this problem.

I have a short username I guess as my scoop is in C:\Users\chris\scoop

I'll try to find a solution to this... There is new user only installer, and maybe I can make scoop run the exe for decompression instead of its usually uncompress of the bundle using innounp.

I will need help to test though, as I cannot reproduce. But I understand you change your scoop setup so can't reproduce right ?

[atsyplenkov]

@cderv thanks! I don't mind testing. Currently, I use scoop only for r-rig and Positron, so it's not a big deal to reinstall them. Environment variables can be easily reassigned.

[cderv]

I have updated the manifest so that the new UserSetup.exe installer is used (which should be with no UAC prompt) and also now running the exe installer directly - so it should no be any more decompress error.

Hope this will solve it
