===

looking at the releases page, you don't have the windows version included (is for 6.2.3) so am curious if this is the cause?

it should also be noted that the link here; https://www.twilio.com/docs/twilio-cli/getting-started/install#windows

no longer applies (per the github release 6.2.4 not having windows package...)

[robininrola]

Can you let us know when will it getting fixed for windows .exe twilio cli 6.2.4?

[jassent]

This error with installing using scoop has existed for many versions and seems impossible to resolve (even if running as an administrator). Try downloading and using the exe installer. The current release is 6.2.3. 6.2.4 does not yet have the exe available.
