scoop-search doesn't work and returns instantly

[trallnag]

scoop-search 1.1.0

It just does not work. Any idea how I could get more information out of it? scoop-search.exe seems to almost instantly exit.

PS C:\Users\GHXCA> scoop search notepad
'extras' bucket:
    notepad2-mod (4.2.25.998)
    notepad2 (4.2.25)
    notepad3 (5.20.722.1)
    notepadplusplus (8.1.9.3)

PS C:\Users\GHXCA> scoop-search.exe notepad
PS C:\Users\GHXCA>

The shim exists.

PS C:\Users\GHXCA> gcm scoop-search.exe

Hey, sorry for this extremely late response. What is the exit status? Perhaps some problems with antivirus. No path in scoop-search leads to no output.

I have the same problem.Because vrcruntime140.dll was missing. I installed this and solved it. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685

Closing due to lack of response. Like I said, calling scoop-search.exe should always end with some output, even when no matches are found.

What @xianzheTM said sounds plausible. Windows does not seem to feedback users on missing DLLs when calling a program from powershell (it might be in the exit code, hence why I asked about it), programs just get killed with no feedback. Calling an exe from explorer.exe GUI does trigger a missing DLL dialog.
