'fd' (10.1.0) was installed successfully!

After second run, fd works, but what are these errors?

Also, I already have scoop installed in my system, I had to remove the scoop shims from path, why not we can temporarily delete scoop shims from path and install scoop-portable, then again add back system scoop shims to the path, instead of saying scoop is already present in path.

[nitincodery]

Happens for another app too, but this time it installs after single run, maybe because the only change is now that I have added my system scoop shims back to path variable, before when I had removed the scoop shims path from path variable, after second run too, fd wasn't installing, and now when system's scoop path is added back, things are installing but with these errors.

When I removed system's scoop from path variable, it is not installing at all and keeps giving this same error:

After second run, fd works, but what are these errors?

This was because, I added system's scoop back to path, but without it, it keeps failing like above.

[nitincodery]

Also, does scoop-portable fixes its path in the path environment variable when the drive letter changes in case of external drives?

[sebthom]

The idea of scoop-portable is not to rely on persisted environment variables but when you run scoop-portable.cmd the env vars are setup ad-hoc for the current command window. when you move the installation to another directory or drive scoop-portable will detect it and adjust all the internal symlinks accordingly.

[nitincodery]

What about install errors? How to fix them?

[sebthom]

TBH, no idea, I cannot reproduce it.
