ScoopInstaller
[email protected] fails to install/update
Bug Report
Package Name: virtualbox-np
Current Behaviour
VirtualBox cannot be installed or updated due to an unexpected missing executable during installation. Example below reflects an attempt to install after attempting to uninstall, failing to do so, and manually removing the apps/ directory and the associated shims/
- ✅ downloading the package
- 🟨 the installer script runs (though it does fail slightly, trying to delete a desktop shortcut that doesn't exist)
- ✅ several shims are created
- â›” the 'VBoxTestOGL' shim fails to create as there is no such executable
Expected Behaviour
Expect VirtualBox to install/update
Additional context/output
Possible Solution
Per the changelog for VirtualBox 7.1, this is a major update. I imagine it is possible the executables shipped have changed and so the install scripts may need updating, the version change was handled automatically per commit c27deec73c9f3b87337161b5ca92e6de567fea05 and perhaps was not able to capture a change in expected files.
System details
Windows version: 10
OS architecture: 64bit
PowerShell version: 5.1.19041.4894
Additional software: none (that I expect to be relevant)

I confirm that the fix by @tree-s works with VirtualBox 7.1.8. I wonder why the original bucket has not been fixed yet.

/btw this will no longer work as of 7.2 but if any one still cares I maintain my own version here
I maintain my own version here
How can I tell scoop to use that?
Just the same way you add any other buckets and apps
scoop bucket add virtualbox https://github.com/tree-s/virtualbox
sudo scoop install virtualbox/virtualbox-np
But the instructions are also in the readme.md. I'll try to keep it update to date as I use it a lot with my work. I just get tired of these giant app buckets not being up to date so I just make my own buckets to keep the tools that I use up to date. Any way hope this helps.
