Installing Warp on Windows via Scoop breaks auto-update #9796

Description

@peicodes

There is an unofficial Scoop extras package for warp-terminal: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/blob/master/bucket/warp-terminal.json

Installing Warp this way breaks auto-update with this error:

CreateFile failed; code 448. The path cannot be traversed because it contains an untrusted mount point.

The error is due to a symlink. Sometime symlink traversal is forbidden for security reasons. Scoop uses symlink during it's installation.

I'm not sure yet what is the best solution yet.

  1. Try to get Scoop to remove the unofficial package.
  2. In-app warning if we detect we are running from a Scoop directory that it's not an officially supported installation channel.
  3. Change the way install works to be robust to symlinks.
