Poem

🐰 In a bucket a manifest hops into sight,
Npcap bundled up tidy and light.
Hashes aligned and uninstall set free,
I nibble a carrot and cheer, whee! 🥕✨

In `@bucket/npcap-np.json`:
- Around line 18-23: Replace the hardcoded "C:\\Program Files\\Npcap" path with
the environment-aware ProgramFiles variable: update the $uninstaller assignment
and any path checks that reference "C:\\Program Files\\Npcap" to use
$env:ProgramFiles (e.g., build the path from $env:ProgramFiles and "Npcap");
ensure the Start-Process and Test-Path use that $uninstaller variable and keep
the existing warn message unchanged.
- Line 20: The uninstall command string "Start-Process -FilePath $uninstaller
-ArgumentList '/S' -Wait" can return non-zero without failing; change it to
start the process with -PassThru (e.g., assign to $proc), wait for it, then
inspect $proc.ExitCode and abort/exit when ExitCode -ne 0 so uninstall failures
aren't treated as success. Update the command in the JSON (the line containing
Start-Process) to capture the process object and enforce failure handling (throw
or exit with the non-zero code) when ExitCode is non-zero.
