• 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

The environment variable added for the package is wrong. The installer adds to the PATH the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\sharkdp.bat_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe, but the bat.exe is in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\sharkdp.bat_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\bat-v0.23.0-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.

Steps to reproduce

1. winget install sharkdp.bat
2. Restart the shell
3. Run bat

Actual behavior

bat: The term 'bat' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Expected behavior

The .exe file to be in the user path.

Does this occurr when using the latest preview release of winget (v1.5.1081-preview)?

There was a known CLI issue that should be patched in the preview -

• Root directory of portable packages is always added to the PATH regardless of RelativeFilePath winget-cli#2909
• Fix PATH behavior of non-symlink installations for Portables/Zip winget-cli#3002

I just tested it. No issue here.

This issue occurs for a few more packages (for me at least): Gyan.FFmpeg, Gyan.FFmpeg.Shared, and sharkdp.hyperfine. The parent paths are added to the user PATH:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg.Shared_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe
%localappdata%\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\sharkdp.hyperfine_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe,
but the paths should be Gyan.FFmpeg.Shared_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ffmpeg-6.0-full_build-shared\bin for ffmpeg and harkdp.hyperfine_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe\hyperfine-v1.16.1-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc for hyperfine. Changing the paths in the PATH to the correct ones fixes the issue.

(I don't exactly know how the winget manifests work and all that, but the three packages seem to all specify the correct files in the Installers.NestedInstallerFiles.RelativeFilePath field(s) in their installer.yaml files)

Using:

• Windows 11 22H2
• Winget 1.4.10173
• Powershell 7.3.4

Please upgrade to WinGet v1.5.1081-preview where this issue has been resolved

@helpimnotdrowning - Do you see the same issue if you use version 1.5.1081-preview from the releases page?

[helpimnotdrowning]

Gyan.FFmpeg installs and works perfectly fine now (after a system restart), but trying to install/uninstall/upgrade hyperfine make winget freeze when it writes "Starting package uninstall..." or "Starting package install...".

[fabiano]

@Trenly I forgot to remove the package using v1.4.10173 and when I tried to do it using v1.5.1361-preview the command line froze at this step:

Edit:

I reinstalled v1.4.10173 and was able to remove the package. Then, I upgraded to v1.5.1361-preview and installed the package again. The bat.exe was added correctly to the path this time.

Great! Glad to hear this is resolved in the upcoming version of the client.
