[Package Issue]: GodotEngine.GodotEngine

[0mn1core]

Please confirm these before moving forward

• I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
• I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Installed Godot using Winget. The associated executables are installed correctly; however, the links and command line aliases are not being created for the executable, and despite being found under winget list, I am not able to uninstall using winget (No installed package found matching input criteria.)

Steps to reproduce

• In console running as administrator: winget install --id=GodotEngine.GodotEngine -e
• Refresh/reopen console
• Verify presence: winget list --id=GodotEngine.GodotEngine
• Attempt command line aliases indicated by installation output
  • godot
  • godot_console
• Attempt uninstall: winget uninstall --id=GodotEngine.GodotEngine

Actual behavior

Executables are installed in proper place. No links created in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links. PATH not updated to include %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links. For some reason, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\GodotEngine.GodotEngine_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe is added to my PATH.

Expected behavior

Executables installed in proper place. Links created in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links. As this is the first time I have installed using winget, I expect %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links to be added to my path. Executables should be findable in start/search menu.

Could you please try installing this package with Administrator privileges? There're notes already shown in your screenshot.

• See Shims like Scoop winget-cli#361
• See Installing a package doesn't add it it to path winget-cli#549

Could you please try installing this package with Administrator privileges? There're notes already shown in your screenshot.

I mentioned in "Steps to reproduce" but not in "Brief description of your issue"; I am running these commands from an elevated administrator session. Is there more I need to do?

[0mn1core]

Is there any other information I should provide or ways I should run this?

[voronoipotato]

Close all terminal windows and reopen it, is your command present there now? This is a known issue with winget, though I think there's a workaround you can do documented in microsoft/winget-cli#549

Restarted terminal, restarted machine, redownloaded and tried the same approaches again. Eventually went with Scoop to download it. Though if this post is any indication, perhaps it will get fixed in a newer version of PS? When it does, I'll try uninstalling with Scoop and see if it fixes my issue.

Still very strange it added the package install directory to my path rather than the links directory.

@0mn1core it definitely should have added after rebooting lol.
