Installation on new Win10 Install fails with TLS/SSL Error

[rbharathkumar]

Hi All, hope you are all doing well.
I have used and enjoyed scoop very much and continue to do so.
But every time I install scoop on a new Win10 install, it fails with the TLS/SSL Error.

I see several similar issues dating back to the Win 8.1 days...
Have set the execution policy, latest PowerShell and PowerShell 5.1, latest and LTS dotnet runtimes, Git etc but to no avail....

I see the solution mentioned commonly as [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Just wanted to understand if other are facing the same issue...Cause of the issue, if it is widespread would it be possible to mention the solution in the advanced install instructions so that we can be sure about the command's safety instead of copy pasting some code from the comments.

Thanks for all the great work...
Cheers....

The installer handles this automatically, see https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Install/blob/master/install.ps1#L157-L173

@rashil2000 yes, I am able to reach the link you had shared - 588 line install.ps1 script...
I also thought it was an internet issue, but I am able to reach the link though...
@chawyehsu thank you for your response - I have reverted back to SystemDefault using the command rashil2000 had provided....

@rashil2000 yes, I am able to reach the link you had shared - 588 line install.ps1 script...

You can download that script file and run it in PowerShell, it will run the installer.

ok I had to copy the install.ps1 file manually and then I was able to install...
Weirdly, when I clicked on raw to copy the content, I once again received the same connection error...
What do you think is causing the error? the same as the screenshot above....

On a positive note, scoop is installed and working great...I appreciate and thank you for your all your guidance....

Frankly, I have no idea

[rbharathkumar]

that is ok - maybe if possible the instruction can be included in the advanced install instructions.
thank you once again for all the help...
