Scoop: Error message when updating Scoop

[benplm]

I get an error message any time scoop updates, either when I run scoop update or when it updates prior to installing a new package. Here's the output:

C:\Users\bpoli> scoop install shasum
Updating Scoop...
out-file : Accesso al percorso 'C:\Users\bpoli\.scoop' negato.
In C:\Users\bpoli\scoop\apps\scoop\current\lib\config.ps1:56 car:27

    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (:) [Out-File], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FileOpenFailure,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutFileCommand

Scoop was updated successfully!
Installing 'shasum' (0.2013.09.29) [64bit]

(third line roughly translates to Access to 'C:\Users\bpoli\.scoop' denied.)

As you can see, the error message doesn't prevent it to update or installing packages. However, I'm wondering if there's something broken in my scoop installation that can be fixed, to prevent this message to pop-up.

So, the cause was that the file .scoop was hidden. This makes it inaccessible by config.ps1 somehow. Also, while this did not prevent me to update scoop, it prevented me to create aliases. Is that expected?

Hi, I've created a PR to fix this.

It's fixed now. Thanks!
