(🐞) poetry self update installs poetry into a new location and breaks it with: "Poetry was not installed with the recommended installer"

[KotlinIsland]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: Windows 10
• Poetry version: 1.1.12 / 1.2.0a2
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: N/A

Issue

I installed poetry with the install-poetry.py script, and it installed into \AppData\Roaming\Python\Scripts.

But when I run poetry self update it installs poetry into a wacky different directory(C:\Users\amongus\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts) that doesn't let me run poetry self update any more:
Poetry was not installed with the recommended installer, so it cannot be updated automatically.

>poetry self update 1.1.11
Updating Poetry to 1.1.11

This is a pretty serious bug that makes the install-poetry script practically useless IMO

I guess the root cause is the same as in #5046.

Could you please try my fix #5048, by installing it via:

 curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python - --git https://github.com/finswimmer/poetry@issue-5046-fix-self-update

Uninstall your current installation first.

I've run into a similar issue on Python 3.7.12, Win10 WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Focal Fossa), after running poetry self update on Poetry 1.1.11 and seeing "Updating Poetry to 1.1.12", poetry --version still gave 1.1.11. The aforementioned fix did the job.

Solved by #5048 and available since Poetry 1.1.13.
