@vunhatchuong123 when you run the following command, does it return the same? Because it should. When using 12.6.3 (as 4 is indeed broken).

PS> scoop which oh-my-posh
~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\bin\oh-my-posh.exe

Try this, as it needs to remove that shim first:

uninstall oh-my-posh: scoop uninstall oh-my-posh (this should remove the broken shim)
reinstall the latest release: scoop install https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/oh-my-posh.json
restart the terminal
scoop which oh-my-posh should now point to ~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\bin\oh-my-posh.exe

@vunhatchuong123 did you restart your terminal? It now uses the actual installer and it should not even have that shim. How did you install oh-my-posh with scoop?

Yes I did restart my terminal, same error popup as when I reload profile on startup.

I install with

scoop install https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/oh-my-posh.json

@vunhatchuong123 this makes no sense, there's no shim to create here tbh. When you run Get-Command oh-my-posh, what doest it report?

Ok, idk what's going on but oh the original machine with the bug, I'm able to fix it by updating to 12.6.4

But on another machine with the same dotfiles, it's confusing.

omp installation process on another machine with same dotfiles

TL;DR: Installing unsuccessful with recommended way.

scoop install https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/releases/latest/download/oh-my-posh.json

I'm able to do it with scoop install oh-my-posh@12.6.4 specifically

@vunhatchuong123 I can also reproduce the last error. I specifically added that our installer was inno but then things go sideways. I'll have a look at other inno setup installers in the bucket and do adjustments needed. The problem with scoop install oh-my-posh@12.6.4 is that it install an unsigned binary.

This happens to me as well from time to time (and I use Scoop too). It's like this now with 12.6.5, but has happened before too. What I usually do is scoop uninstall oh-my-posh && scoop install oh-my-posh@12.6.3 where 12.6.3 is a known working version before the one that causes problems. Then, after I see a new version, I do scoop uninstall oh-my-posh && scoop install oh-my-posh (as the instance that was installed using a specific version doesn't respond to scoop update).

Be aware that that command installs non-signed binaries as the main bucket downloads the raw ones (and I will be removing those from the artifacts).
