Fresh Windows installs were failing on first run with:
⚠ uv python install error: Downloading cpython-3.11.15-windows-x86_64-none (24.5MiB)
✗ Installation failed: Python was not found; run without arguments
to install from the Microsoft Store...
Two bugs compounding:
1) EAP=Stop swallows uv's stderr progress as an exception. uv writes
download progress ("Downloading cpython-3.11.15-windows-x86_64-none
(24.5MiB)") to stderr. With $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" set at
the top of the script plus 2>&1 capture, PowerShell wraps each stderr
line as an ErrorRecord and throws on the first one — even though uv
exits 0 and Python was installed successfully. This was previously
fixed in commit ec1714e71 (May 8) but lost in the May 12 release
squash (413990c94). Reapply the EAP=Continue + verify-via
'uv python find' pattern.
2) System-python fallback invokes the Microsoft Store stub. When the uv
paths fall through, the legacy 'python --version' check invokes
%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\python.exe, a 0-byte
reparse-point stub that prints 'Python was not found...' to stdout
and exits non-zero. Get-Command matches it. The resulting error
message is what the user sees as the final installer crash. Detect
and skip the stub by checking for the \\WindowsApps\\ path
component or a 0-byte file size before invoking python.
Also save/restore EAP defensively in the catch blocks so a throw before
the assignment can't leave EAP in 'Continue'.
