[Bug]: NanaZip installation does not properly install the MSIX package

[dinhngtu]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

NanaZip

Expected/Current Behaviour

Scoop does not install NanaZip using the MSIX, but rather it's manually unpacking the MSIX and getting the files within. The "modern" flavor of NanaZip depends on package identity and will behave unpredictably when installed in this way.

In other words, this method of installation is not supported by NanaZip.

Steps to Reproduce

Refer to https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/master/bucket/nanazip.json

Possible Solution

The official unattended installation method is documented here: https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip?tab=readme-ov-file#msix-package

[...] and will behave unpredictably when installed in this way.

Could you explain what behavior is breaking for you? I ran a simple test and the GUI seems to run fine.

[dinhngtu]

There are multiple issues caused by this method of installation:

• MSIX manifests are not applied, so file associations are not created.
• Shell extensions are not installed. [Request] Add context menu for Nanazip #6963
• Execution aliases are not created.
• Extract-on-open (with double click) cannot be used.
• Localization does not work.
• Settings and files are not properly isolated and will interfere with the packaged version. They will also not be cleaned up during an uninstallation as they should be.

All in all, this installation method breaks package identity in a way where anything that depends on it will fail or crash. As such, it cannot be supported as an installation method for wide distribution to users.

According to https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip#differences-between-nanazip-and-nanazip-classic, we will know:

NanaZip (Modern) can be used as portable version if you extract the files from the MSIX package or copy from the NanaZipPackage project output. It's designed for debugging/testing/development purpose and users who really need portable version. But please note that some features is not available, such as context menu and file associations. This mode is not recommended for users who don't know what they are doing like installing NanaZip (Modern) from third-party maintained Scoop package. Some issues will not be fixed if you are using NanaZip (Modern) in portable mode.

@dinhngtu has already mentioned the detailed limitations. But the i18n should be OK if they really follow the way I mentioned (a.k.a. keep the resources.pri, which is also needed for XAML UI).
