Scoop: `scoop update` fails on Windows 10

[DeltaWhy]

I am unable to update scoop on Windows 10 - it appears to just delete itself. I was able to recover from this by downloading the install script from get.scoop.sh and commenting out the if(installed 'scoop') check to force a reinstall.

Error message:

Sorry about that. Thanks for the bug report.

Yes, the first time you run scoop update, scoop removes itself in order to switch to git. The problem is that it calls itself to get proxy configuration to pass to git after it has deleted itself. I'm fixing this now – shouldn't take too long.

This is fixed in 376630f.

You'll need to run this script to re-install Scoop to overwrite the bad copy first:

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lukesampson/210853bdace8e381ff1cb27ef37c8be9/raw/585d44db18b76537e532f16b6e8928587954c5dc/scoop-reinstall.ps1')

Then run scoop update to make sure that it worked. Please let me know if you run into any problems.

PS> git --version
git version 2.8.2.windows.1

Suspect this is due to the space in my username and quoting issues.

Great, you found two bugs at once. Should work now, after you reinstall:

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lukesampson/210853bdace8e381ff1cb27ef37c8be9/raw/585d44db18b76537e532f16b6e8928587954c5dc/scoop-reinstall.ps1')

[DeltaWhy]

Looks like that did it, thanks!

[gmywq]

Sir, it doesn't help.

[donotlb]

1. delete the directory => ${SCOOP}/apps/scoop
2. reinstall scoop
   iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

still doesn't work
