mise winget package does not create links for mise and mise-shim properly

[iki]

Steps to reproduce on Windows:

1. Install jdx.mise via winget:

>>> winget install -e --force --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --id jdx.mise

2. Check if mise links were created:

>>> where mise
INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).
>>> fd -gl mise*.exe "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WinGet"
(no output)

Temporary workaround

Create the links manually:

ln -sfvT "%LocalAppData%/Microsoft/WinGet/Packages/jdx.mise_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe/mise/bin/mise-shim.exe" "%LocalAppData%/Microsoft/WinGet/Links/mise-shim.exe"
ln -sfvT "%LocalAppData%/Microsoft/WinGet/Packages/jdx.mise_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe/mise/bin/mise.exe" "%LocalAppData%/Microsoft/WinGet/Links/mise.exe"

Thanks for the report. I couldn't reproduce this with a fresh install: winget install jdx.mise (tested on 2026.9.18) creates mise.exe and mise-shim.exe symlinks in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links. where mise fails in the same shell right after install because winget adds Links to PATH and the shell needs a restart to see it. The 2026.10.x versions weren't in the winget index I tested against, so I couldn't try 2026.10.12 itself.

Did you update mise with mise self-update at any point before this? On older versions (before #14737) self-update replaced the mise-shim.exe symlink in Links with a regular copy instead of updating the real file in the package directory, which can confuse winget later. If that's your history, winget uninstall jdx.mise followed by a fresh winget install jdx.mise should repair it.

If not, could you share the output of dir "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links" and of winget install jdx.mise --verbose-logs? In particular, whether symlink creation reports an error (e.g. Developer Mode off).
