(1password) install appears to succeed, but program is not functional

[jacktose]

Expected Behavior

choco install 1password should end with a functional install of 1Password.

Current Behavior

choco install 1password appears to complete successfully (with a fair bit of stderr output).
1Password does not appear in Start menu, desktop, Apps & features, or Programs & features.
1Password files are present in %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\.

Possible Solution

In #1186, an installer change broke choco installation and was fixed in #1516. I don't think this is exactly the same, because -f --not-silent is not an effective workaround.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

choco install 1password
or
choco install --not-silent 1password and click Yes at the prompt

Context

I'm a new 1Password user and just want to install and use the program.

I just came access the same issue. I can confirm that this problem exists on a brand new, fresh installed, Windows 10 20H1.
It seems, that the last step for the installation %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\1Password.exe setup should now be %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\1Password.exe --silent

@alie2n
Would you be willing to submit a PR with the changes needed?

[alie2n]

I'd really like to submit a PR, but I don't understand the logic how the executed command gets assembled. From what I gather from the install.ps1 and the update.ps1 the command should be correct. But for some reason it is not.

I am having the same issue. Running %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\1Password.exe --silent runs 1Password, but it didn't seem to install it in the start menu, but %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\1Password.exe setup did.

[michaelmhoffman]

The current installer logic kills the installer after it finds "Installation completed successfully" in the log. Is it possible that this is no longer really enough to complete installation?

[AdmiringWorm]

It is very possible that it is no longer needed, or the installation completed is prematurely added to the log.

I am not a user of 1password myself, so need to leave this up to someone else to investigate.

The issue still persists, after some testing i found that an additional step is needed to finish the installation. I added this step to the code and created a PR (#1733). With that change 1Password appears in the startmenu, appwiz etc.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

#1733 is still open to fix this. Looks like it just needs some attention.

This is still an issue. It seems that the PR to fix it has been closed due to nobody understanding enough about the strange merged versions of 1password and the now old 1password4 system. Can anyone help to get this closed off?
