'pm install' does not install packages

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug/issue The new package manager doesn’t install packages. I can choose the package, I get the mesasage box with the details, and then the two toaster popups saying the package has been downloaded but Flow doesn’t restart and the packages are not available or located in the %APPDATA%/Roaming/FlowLauncher directory. The log files logs nothing about the attempt.

Note I have completely uninstalled Flow and deleted all %APPDATA% directories afterwards for a clean install and issue persists. Running explicitly as Administrator doesn’t help (Flow crashed the first time I did this and start typing ‘pm’ but I haven’t been able to reproduced that).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Activate Flow
  2. Type ‘pm install’ and choose any package
  3. Click ‘yes’ on the message box showing the plugin details and confirming you want to install
  4. Toaster popup saying ‘downloading…’’
  5. Toaster popup saying downloading has finished.
  6. Nothing else happens. Enter Flow Settings - Plugins tab and nothing new listed.

Your System

Windows build number: 10.0.19042.6851
Flow Launcher version: 1.6

Just published a rebuild of the 1.6.0 release, should fix the issue where nothing happens when you download plugin.

This error is caused by the postbuild script trying to trim the setup file from 103 to 83 mbs by deleting duplicates. ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll was deleted because there is another one in the parent folder (likely a dependency for another package) so the one in plugin folder is deleted. This caused the error where the PluginsManager is trying to look for the dll in its folder.

Will put through a fix for the error message and packaging of sharpzip dependency
