[microsoft-windows-terminal] installed for user, not machine #152

Closed teknowledgist closed 1 year ago

Expected Behavior

When an administrator installs the package, unprivileged users can run the application.

Current Behavior

An admin account (successfully) installs the package and can run it, but my daily driver account (unprivileged as is best practice) gets a 

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

despite being able to view it. (Permissions are read, but not read & execute.) The error is the same trying to right-click and run as administrator, which means I have to start it from a script or elevated cmd or PoSh window.

Since Chocolatey requires admin rights, this package can't be installed by my user account.

Possible Solution

Not sure. Is this a package problem or a Microsoft problem (which wouldn't surprise me)?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. As an admin: choco install microsoft-windows-terminal -y
  2. As any other user attempt to run wt.exe
