It occurs with the following procedure. (using cmd.exe)

> cd %USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\scoop\current\bucket

> scoop -v
Current Scoop version:
4d418ace (HEAD -> master) octave: change bin to octave.bat (closes #2534)　
( ... )

> scoop install cmder.json
Installing 'cmder' (1.3.6) [32bit]
Loading cmder_mini.zip from cache
Checking hash of cmder_mini.zip ... ok.
Extracting cmder_mini.zip ... done.
Linking ~\scoop\apps\cmder\current => ~\scoop\apps\cmder\1.3.6
Creating shim for 'Cmder'.

Yes, this happens by running scoop install on a JSON file multiple times.
It should check if the program is installed like it would normally.

@h404bi Is this still relevant after #2897? I haven't seen it for a while on vscode-insiders-portable

[tetradice]

This problem is no longer occurring in the latest version.
Thank you, @r15ch13, @h404bi and @Ash258.

@Ash258 I am sorry that I noticed and I am late for closing.
