I'm also having this issue. I've included the log file below:

It looks like the problem is that scoop tries to create symbolic links to the aforementioned files, but on Windows (10 and under; not sure about 11), the user needs admin privileges to create them.

The upstream project and its zip archive use symbolic links in the git repository. I don't know why it's having issues now. The upstream repository has had those symbolic links since 2019. I tried downgrading 7zip, thinking that was the issue (I had upgraded 7zip the same day), but I also have the same issue. I've also tried using the last version of git-filter-repo on my system, but it also doesn't unpack correctly.

As a workaround, I fixed this issue by opening an elevated shell and installing it that way.

I tried running it with admin privileges and it worked.
Thank you.
