This is due to it looking at the wrong location when trying to find the latest version.

Refer to this chocolatey group discussion: How do I use Chocolatey with a private corporate network share based source?

This command

Install-ChocolateyPackage 'mypackage' 'EXE' '/S' '\\mylocalnas\gallery\myproduct.exe' 

produces this error

I tried to install completely fresh machine and started with package installation. Chocolatey didn't throw any errors on installation and also didn't install anything. After some research I found that NuGet.exe is not working, but it started to work after I installed Visual Studio and NuGet separately.

I know that it might be NuGet issue, but maybe some NuGet configuration is missing in Chocolatey installation.

When I first tried to install chocolatey, I got this error in Powershell:

chocolateyInstall.ps1 cannot be loaded because the 
execution of scripts is disabled on this system.

After seeing the rcommended get-help about_signing (which is several pages long), I turned to DuckDuckGo and found this solution:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Now scripts can be executed from Powershell and the installation finishes successfully. Perhaps this information would be helpful to other users new to Powershell who want to install chocolatey. I did not see any mention of it in the installation section of the documentation.

Please create the chocolateyinstall environment path on installation if it does not exist. It's useful to have when building certain packages that have to do custom work in the $env:chocolateyinstall\bin path. (for an example, see the wim2vhd package)

I want to point to a package and have it look to see if there are any packages installed that meet the standards of the package needs.

For instance, I need to see if ruby is installed. I don't care if it is the zipped version or the full blown install.
If it is not installed, then I would like to default to one of these two (the one that doesn't require an install).

Other use cases, install a pdf reader. I wouldn't necessarily care if it is adobe or foxit. I just want one of these to be installed.

I'm not sure how to best get the "most recent version" link of hg downloaded.

This effectively changes cinst to do the same as cinstm.

But it continues on correctly, so it's not a blocking issue

long as it ends in config

When installing any package ("cinst any_package") after creating folder structure and downloading PS files etc. and when it is time for "chocolateyInstall.ps1" to be executed, nothing happens on my Windows 7 x64.

But when I browse to the "tools" folder, rename "chocolateyInstall.ps1" to "chocolateyinstall.ps1" and "cinst any_package" again, everything runs fine and package is installed successfully.

My OS language is English but my regional and keyboard settings are Turkish (and I am from Turkey).

I think this is because in Turkish uppercase "i" !== "I" but uppercase "i" === "İ" and lowercase "I" === "ı" and so chocolatey can not find "chocolateyInstall.ps1"

Becuase my OS language is English, maybe this shouldn't be a problem but this is the only logical explanation I could think of.

This is due to NuGet 1.5 no longer reporting the version if you explicitly tell it what version you are looking for.

This is to get allVersions of a package.

If you install Chocolatey using the easy install on the Chocolatey.org website, you don't get the NuGet.exe on your command line.

iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("http://bit.ly/psChocInstall"))

If you go on and update (cup) or install Chocolatey using Chocolatey (cinst chocolatey), you get a new NuGet batch file in the %chocolateyInstall%\bin\ path.

It seems like you should get NuGet on your command line as part of the easy install.

I would love to pass cinst somepkg -notsilent so that it would pop up items for me.

cuninst somepackage
gives the user a choice of what to remove
cuninst somepackage -version 1.23
removes just that version

This would reroute the batch link to the most up to date version. If there are no more versions, delete the batch file.

Look to see if there is an chocolateyUninstall.ps1 file. This file could actually remove applications from the computer. Of course the uninstaller would need to look at the version installed before running the uninstaller in case someone has upgraded.

Uninstall-ChocolateyPackage $packageName $possiblePathsToUninstaller
This may need helpers for the version

A link to help this idea: http://www.appdeploy.com/software/detail.asp?id=266176

Remove the stuff from lib folder as well.

This should take in the nuspec file if specified.

This will be after 1.0. This is likely going to be a very involved process of getting intimate with the installation types themselves and install directories.

For a given package's version history on the chocolatey gallery page, the sorting of the versions is using a string based sorting rather then a numeric based one.

See http://chocolatey.org/packages/chocolatey

e.g., "Chocolatey 0.9.8.11" is sorted below "Chocolatey 0.9.8.9"

Installing a package with a source path containing spaces fails in the NuGet command.

The latest chocolatey update seems to be leaving some goofy stuff on the console. I did the update with cup from my console. You can see that here.

There is an error installing notepad++:
Failed to download package correctly. The contents of the package could not be verified.

Now that you don't need to assert admin privileges for chocolateyinstall.ps1 prior to running it, there is no reason to pop a second window. The processes that need admin privileges will automatically pop a window and that is fine.

The windowpad package is a simple download zip and create shortcut script. It has a dependency on autohotkey, which I've done before. It has a two segment version (1.60), which I've done before. When I try to debug the package, I get some goofy message

I tried messing with the autohotkey dependency version number (which I know isn't necessary) and it didn't help. I used NuGet directly and was able to unpack the nupkg (obviously, it didn't run the chocolateyInstall). I put the autohotkey dependency in the same source directory.

PS> nuget install windowpad -source "$pwd"

This will allow someone to change the install directory without a lot of work.

If you do cver with ruby, and you have ruby.devkit installed, one of the results you will get back for the versions is devkit.1.2.3 (instead of only ruby versions).

This issue carries to trying to update and install missing since it is bringing back false positives.

I want to be able to call cinst someitem -installArgs "/D:c:\somwhere\else.pdb"

I want to be able to have a powershell script that I can access anywhere on the system and not just from powershell by putting in a batch redirect that calls powershell and passes the script in question.

So if I had a powershell script named install-windowsimage.ps1, I could run this command during install and it would allow me to call install-windowsimage.bat with the arguments.

I want to be able to override what the installer knows.

cinst somefile -installArgs "" -override

As long as the source is not webpi, ruby, nuget.org, or chocolatey, I should be able to install all packages from a custom feed. This will greatly reduce the need to carry around and maintain a file for installations.

I found some documentation on the silent install options. (Haven't tried it) http://eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/doc/2.6/Help/en/UnattendedInstallation.html

and possibly make it configurable

This should be a simple fix

This should take in the nupkg file and an optional source (defaults to http://chocolatey.org/)

All installs fail to complete, however they do report as installed.

I want to be able to override what the installer knows.

cinst somefile -installArgs "" -override

The NuGet way, nuget install packages.config, only downloads the packages. The idea being, you've already installed the packages into the projects, you're just rebuilding a new machine/workspace. Obviously, chocolatey would have different semantics: rebuild a machine from this "manifest" (reinstall or update packages).

chocolatey install packages.config

or

cinst packages.config

The new chocolatey (0.9.8.13) processes existing bat files to make them portable. Then it puts a NuGet.bat in the bin. That file is not portable.

@echo off
"D:\packages\lib\chocolatey.0.9.8.13\tools\chocolateyInstall\NuGet.exe" %*

I tried to install cUrl, but the package was not found and thus the install failed.

When running cup all, I'm getting this:
curl does not appear to be on (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669). You have 7.21.7 installed. Interesting...

Something intelligent should be done with failed installs.

If you do a cver on NUnit where it has a 2.5.9 and a 2.5.10, it will incorrectly tell you that 2.5.9 is the newer version.

When an installer fails to install the package should not be put in the lib folder or be removed from the lib folder.
