   This can be solved if you refactor your program like this:

   • the SCOOP environment variable will point to the working directory where the applications directory is stored (And default installation directory for older versions).
   • new environment variable APP_SCOOP - scoop application directory for installing/launching/uninstalling it.

   To support older versions, if the APP_SCOOP environment variable is missing, it will be equal to the SCOOP variable.

   This way you can separate the application directory and the SCOOP application files. By default, they will all be located in one directory.

   If you have try the default installation, you will find that Scoop simply adds ~\scoop\shims to $PATH and no other environment variables has been created.

   For ScoopInstaller/Scoop#5726, we just need to check the path is empty or not before install.

   This way you can separate the application directory and the SCOOP application files. By default, they will all be located in one directory.

   This is a thing with Scoop Core, it's nothing to do with installation scripts. BTW, when allow apps install to a path that out of Scoop Root Directory, more issues will arise, e.g. junction creation, disk performance, etc.

   Ok. Personally, I haven't looked into the details of SCOOP, so I can't comment. A spontaneous idea came to my mind. Now I understand that your package is dependent on other packages.
