rokit update leaves tool launchers unusable on Windows (os error 3) until rokit install is run

[lewis-netizen]

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Shell: PowerShell
• Rokit version: <output of rokit --version>

Description

After updating tools with rokit update, the installed tool launchers become unusable.

For example, after updating, running:

rojo --version

results in:

ERROR: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

The launcher executable still exists in:

%USERPROFILE%\.rokit\bin\rojo.exe

and rokit list still reports the tool as installed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install tools using rokit install.
2. Run rokit update.
3. Execute a tool, for example:

rojo --version

Expected behavior

Updated tools should continue working immediately after rokit update.

Actual behavior

The launcher fails with:

ERROR: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

Workaround

Running:

rokit install

restores the tools and they begin working again.

Notes

It appears that rokit update leaves the launcher pointing to an invalid tool path, while rokit install rebuilds or refreshes the installation correctly.

Bump, happens to me too. Windows 11.
Had to reinstall all my tools because of this.
