UniGetUI Version

2026.1.11

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.8521)

Describe your issue

When installing or updating packages via Scoop through our tool, some installations fail during the shimming phase with the error Can't shim '<target>': File doesn't exist. even though the file was successfully downloaded and extracted. This issue is particularly common with packages that specify relative paths for executables inside nested subdirectories (e.g. neovim-nightly which uses bin\nvim.exe).

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Ensure the Microsoft Store version of PowerShell 7 is installed.
  2. Attempt to run a Scoop installation or update through a process started with C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\pwsh.exe (App Execution Alias).
  3. Try updating neovim-nightly or any package using a relative path layout in its manifest:
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\pwsh.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "scoop update neovim-nightly"
  4. The process will extract the files but fail at the shimming stage.

Relevant information

Technical Root Cause

The root cause lies in how the process is spawned, specifically when utilizing the Microsoft Store version of PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe via its App Execution Alias) or when the execution process inherits the MSIX/AppContainer filesystem virtualization of a parent packaged application.

  1. Junction Creation & Virtualization:
    During installation/updating, Scoop creates a directory junction (e.g., C:\Users\<User>\scoop\apps\<app>\current pointing to C:\Users\<User>\scoop\apps\<app>\<version>).
  2. Test-Path Failure:
    Inside an AppContainer or MSIX sandboxed context (which includes Store-installed pwsh.exe), the filesystem virtualization layer does not immediately propagate or properly resolve these directory junctions. Thus, when Scoop runs:
    if (Test-Path "$dir\$target" -PathType leaf) { ... }
    It evaluates to $false because it cannot resolve the target file through the newly linked current junction.
  3. Fallback Failure:
    Since Test-Path fails, Scoop executes a fallback to locate the command globally:
    $bin = (Get-Command $target).Source
    Because $target is a relative path (e.g., bin\nvim.exe), Get-Command throws a CommandNotFoundException ("The term 'bin\nvim.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet..."), aborting the installation before creating shims or generating manifest files.

Proposed Solutions / Workarounds for the Spawning Application

  1. Avoid the Microsoft Store App Execution Alias:
    Instead of defaulting to C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\pwsh.exe when launching PowerShell commands, the application should prioritize calling:

    • The native Windows PowerShell: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
    • The standard MSI-installed PowerShell 7 (if available): C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe
  2. Execute Outside the MSIX Sandbox Context:
    If the spawning tool itself is packaged as an MSIX application, it must ensure child CLI processes (like Scoop or PowerShell) are launched in a way that escapes the virtualized environment container (e.g., using FullTrustProcessLauncher or similar Win32 launch mechanisms) to allow correct symlink and junction resolution.
