Someone in the issue linked mentioned that it had something to do with symlinks, but I cannot tell yet.

Did you run pyenv update as suggested in the linked issue?

[melMass]

Did you run pyenv update as suggested in the linked issue?

Yes. I also use regular pyenv in other oses and was using pyenv-win with choco but I'm trying to get rid of choco

[melMass]

Did you run pyenv update as suggested in the linked issue?

The issue I linked just shows the same thing and why for now they did not add scoop instructions until it's working

[TinkerSteve]

same issue here.
worked around by downgrading pyenv to 2.x

scoop install pyenv@2.64.11
scoop hold pyenv

[rashil2000]

If an older version of pyenv is working fine, the issue is not with the Scoop package

What makes you say that?

It works in other package managers so I'm pretty sure it's due to the pyenv-win scoop package, it was updated recently and the issues/comment I could find correlates with that last PR

[rashil2000]

What makes you say that?

1. The manifest is practically unchanged since version 2.64.11 - except for the addition of PYENV_ROOT and PYENV_HOME environment variables
2. The manifest itself is extremely simple - it just unarchives files and sets environment variables. What do you think is broken here?

I'm using the same version/manifest of pyenv and cannot reproduce this. There should not be a manifest issue I think.

Yes but try 3.9.10 for instance, that's the issue

[cderv]

I believe @rminderhoud got to the bottom of it with pyenv-win/pyenv-win#449 (comment)

Probably an issue with Junction paths used by scoop and how msiexec is used on the .exe file using the symlinked path in current/ whereas the file actually lives in the persist folder.

I don't know if something can be done at Scoop level for that. Maybe at pyenv-win level - but it would be best for the MSI to work with Junction path. I don't think all MSI has this issue.

In the meantime, pyenv with Scoop maybe broken

hello i am having this problem, my computer is connected to the domain, my user has admin authorization is there any clue that causes this error ?

[melMass]

Hey I'm going to unsubscribe as I never found the culprit. I tried to tell both project about the issue, on the pyenv-win side they say it's a scoop issue.
It's the only issue I have with scoop, so I installed it manualy (basically it's just cloning a folder and adding its shims to PATH..)

IIRC it only affects older python installers

[ddiaz2380]

Solution:

1: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
2: Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/master/pyenv-win/install-pyenv-win.ps1" -OutFile "./install-pyenv-win.ps1"; &"./install-pyenv-win.ps1"
3: Get-ExecutionPolicy
4: pyenv install -l
5: pyenv install 3.12.0
6: pyenv global 3.12.0

I hope it serves them. Greetings!

Is there a reason this is closed ?

Yes, given above.

[punowo]

Yes, given above.

Where. The only thing I could find that seems to explain things is pyenv-win/pyenv-win#449 (comment)

[kvfi]

Holding the version doesn't work for me any longer. How can we fix this?
