...If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. ...

Scoop (un)installer is the official installer and uninstaller script system for Scoop, designed to make Scoop setup reliable, configurable, and repeatable across different Windows environments. Instead of being “just a one-liner,” it supports a full parameterized workflow where you can choose custom install directories, set global app locations, and control how networking is handled during installation. It is meant to run from PowerShell with appropriate execution policy and language mode, and it encourages running as a standard user by default for safer installs. When advanced needs come up, the project documents how to download and run the installer script locally with explicit flags, which is helpful for locked-down machines or when you need deterministic behavior. ...
