Initial release
Claude Code Install Manager v0.1.0. Single-file Windows batch script (plus optional signed PE launcher) that works around upstream Claude Code installation pain on Windows: multi-location install drift across native installer / WinGet / npm, PATH changes not propagating to running shells, the Claude Desktop App execution alias hijacking the 'claude' command, SYSTEM-profile leftovers from accidental elevated installs, and the lack of any built-in diagnostic or repair path. Subcommands: install, update, uninstall, repair, doctor, path, version, where, help, repair-system, disable-desktop-alias. doctor diagnoses 12+ documented upstream anthropics/claude-code issues from a single command. Long operations show a spinner with mm:ss elapsed time. Errors include actionable next-step hints. Ships with MIT LICENSE (Simtabi LLC), Contributor Covenant 2.1, Keep-a-Changelog CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING / SECURITY docs, Pester tests, GitHub Actions CI plus tag-driven signed release workflow (PFX-from-secret and Azure Trusted Signing paths), and Dependabot config.

2+
Thanks for sending a PR. Please fill out the sections below. Anything
3+
listed in CONTRIBUTING.md's "Pull request checklist" applies here too.
4+

6+
## What this changes
7+
8+
<!-- One or two sentences. The diff already shows the *what*; explain
9+
the *why*. -->
10+
11+
## Motivation
12+
13+
<!-- What problem prompted the change? Link an upstream
14+
anthropics/claude-code issue if applicable. Real-world repro
15+
scenarios are persuasive. -->
16+
17+
## Scope
18+
19+
- [ ] This change maps to a real, documented problem (not a cosmetic
20+
refactor).
21+
- [ ] The change is limited to the surface area named in the title.
22+
- [ ] No new external dependencies that don't ship with Windows.
23+
24+
## Testing
25+
26+
<!-- Describe how you tested. Include the OS / shell / Claude Code
27+
install method on the test machine. The CI workflow handles the
28+
basic build + doctor + Pester checks; this section is for
29+
scenarios CI can't cover. -->
30+
31+
- [ ] `claude-code-install-manager.cmd help` renders correctly.
32+
- [ ] `claude-code-install-manager.cmd doctor` renders correctly.
33+
- [ ] If touching PATH handling: confirmed
34+
`[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path','User')` before/after.
35+
- [ ] If touching the spinner: tested with and without `CCT_NO_SPIN=1`.
36+
- [ ] If touching `repair-system`: tested no-op path on a clean
37+
machine. (Don't fabricate a leftover by hand.)
38+
- [ ] If touching `disable-desktop-alias`: tested with Desktop App
39+
installed.
40+
41+
## Documentation
42+
43+
- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` has an `[Unreleased]` entry under the right
44+
section (Added / Changed / Fixed / Security / Deprecated /
45+
Removed).
46+
- [ ] README updated if a user-visible behavior or flag changed.
47+
- [ ] If adding a subcommand: appears in `help`, in the README
48+
**Subcommands** table, and follows the `:CmdXxx` naming
49+
convention.

## Artifacts
16+
17+
| File | Contents |
18+
|--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
19+
| `claude-code-install-manager.exe` | Signed launcher. Run this if your org enforces SmartScreen / unsigned-binary policies. |
20+
| `claude-code-install-manager.cmd` | The actual wrapper. The `.exe` re-executes this from the same directory. |
21+
| `SHA256SUMS` | Post-signing SHA256 hashes for both files. |
22+
| `claude-code-install-manager-vX.Y.Z-windows.zip` | All three above, bundled. |
23+
24+
Run `claude-code-install-manager.exe help` (or just the `.cmd`) to get
25+
started.
26+
27+
## Verifying
28+
29+
Download `claude-code-install-manager.exe`, `claude-code-install-manager.cmd`,
30+
and `SHA256SUMS` into one directory, then:
31+
32+
```powershell
33+
# Optional: also grab verify-release.ps1 from the repo's scripts/ dir.
34+
.\verify-release.ps1
35+
```
36+
37+
Or check the signature manually:
38+
39+
```powershell
40+
Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\claude-code-install-manager.exe |
41+
Format-List Status, SignerCertificate
42+
```
43+
44+
You should see `Status : Valid` and a publisher subject containing
45+
`Simtabi LLC`.
46+
47+
## Upgrading
48+
49+
This is a per-user tool. To upgrade in place:
50+
51+
1. Replace your existing `claude-code-install-manager.cmd` (and `.exe`
52+
if you have it) with the new files.
53+
2. Run `claude-code-install-manager doctor` to confirm nothing
54+
regressed.
55+
56+
