Working install and proper uninstall for GlazeWM utilizing UAC powershell scripting.

  • Installs GlazeWM v3.7.0 with capability for future updates utilizing .msi install on arm64 and/or x64 platforms.
  • Properly creates and copies GlazeWM executables to directory %ProgramFiles%\glzr.io\GlazeWM for UIAccess
  • UIAccess allows GlazeWM to run without elevation but to interact elevated programs for proper tiling. When running glazewm.exe in %UserProfile%\scoop\apps GlazeWM cannot run in UIAccess mode.
  • Proper shortcut handling and windows search index refresh upon installation for quick application access.
  • Utilizes .msi for proper uninstall clean-up.
  • Dynamic ProductCode checking for simple uninstallation with scoop -> scoop uninstall glazewm-np

updated description so it's understood why GlazeWM requires UAC for installation in order to install under %ProgramFiles% so it can be ran in UIAccess mode. This allows GlazeWM to interact (tile & command windows) that are elevated.

Hi. Can I ask when it'll be merged? without a perm, glazewm has trouble to control privileged applications.

It's a waiting game really... I suppose it's not recommend to use a non verified scoop repo but I'm hosting a bucket @ https://github.com/dillacorn/win-glaze-dots

Here are directions on how to install.

add my unofficial scoop bucket which contains "glazewm-np.json"

scoop bucket add dillacorn https://github.com/dillacorn/win-glaze-dots

install glazewm-np using scoop

installs in %ProgramFiles% so UIAccess is avaliable!

scoop install dillacorn/glazewm-np

Here is a link to the .json so you can verify its legitimacy. <- I love GlazeWM project and being able to install it with scoop was a dream till a few months ago.. worked with ChatGPT to create this .json and it has worked wonderfully for allowing UIAccess.
