Generates an insane amount of registry keys at installation

[FrisoDB]

The fewer issues I have to read, the more new features I will have time to implement, so I ask that you please try these things first

• Try with the newest version from GitHub (also it might have already been fixed in latest nightly build)
• Read the documentation and FAQ, Known issues, Troubleshooting
• Search for your problem under Issues or Discussions
• If you have a problem only with a particular file (or file type), use this form instead
• Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 are no longer supported. This is not a question about Windows 8.1 or older.

Operating System

Windows 11

Steps to reproduce

Opening PS as admin I did the following:

PS C:\Users\friso> choco install lossless-cut
which was followed by a very long return message
it seems to be creating an insane amount of hkey/registry keys
this technically works in chocolatey but is very unpleasant.
wingetui cannot even handle this gigantic flood of messages/lines and just botches the installation.

Expected behavior

a way shorter installation message

Actual behavior

installing takes a long time with many lines being printed

which registry keys are you talking about specifically?
unfortunately i don't publish losslesscut in choco, am not affiliated with them, and i don't know how to fix this.

shit... it's happening to me too :(

had to abort it but it did a LOT and I have no idea what.

It's probably due to file type associations

lossless-cut/package.json

Line 319 in 69f600a

"fileAssociations": [

so it's a problem on my end? or the chocolatey package

I dont k ow about chocolatey because i dont publish there. You could try the github download and see if it’s the same

The chocolatey script downloads the 7z archive directly from this github repo, but somehow it also adds chocolateyinstall.ps1 . In this extra script paths and registry keys are arranged, including a big loop over many file extensions/types.
