Open Source PowerShell Uninstallers

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. It also includes guidance for CI environments, where Scoop is often used to bootstrap toolchains, and it emphasizes returning a proper exit code so pipelines can fail fast and clearly.
