Installing in Windows with winget does not update the path properly

[JoanComasFdz]

• [x] I have read the FAQ.
• [x] I have searched in existing issues.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10 22H2 19045.2846
• scrcpy version: 1.25
• installation method: winget
• device model: MacBook Pro with BootCamp
• Android version: not applicable

Describe the bug

1. Open Windows Terminal with PowerShell 7.3.4
2. Run winget install Genymobile.scrcpy
3. Restart Windows Terminal
4. Run scrcpy

• Expected: scrcpy starts

• Actual: Error message is shown in red: scrcpy : The term 'scrcpy ' 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.

Checking the PATH environment variable reveals that the path configured is: C:\Users\{MI-USER}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages\Genymobile.scrcpy_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe

This folder contains another folder named scrcpy-win64-v1.25, which contains the binaries.

Temporary fix Update the PATH environment variable to include \scrcpy-win64-v1.25.

I was not even aware that a winget package was available (#1444). You should report to the author of this package.

(btw, the last scrcpy version is 2.0)

Hello, the executable path is correctly defined in the winget package manifest and this issue is caused by https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/2909, you need to wait until this bug is fixed by winget developers.

A priori, it works now. #4005
