Problem with Minor MSI Upgrades about choco HOT 13 CLOSED

Is there already a way for me to force a chocolatey package to appear installed without installing it?

I'm thinking about situations like the above where I already know the pre-requisite is installed, it's just not installed by chocolatey.

Something like:
choco install abc -onlyregisterasinstalled

from choco.

--skippowershell.

Could you please show a complete command line?

I tried -skippowershell and --skippowershell and --skip-powershell and they all report "unknown option" and then "command install failed".

I tried adding "-o" and "--override" and still get the same result.

Latest version of chocolately on a fresh Server 2012 build.

Thanks for any help!

Latest version of chocolately on a fresh Server 2012 build.

When you say latest version, can you confirm exactly what version?

We have a beta package of Chocolatey, which is version 0.9.9-beta-20150201, which is where the above command switches will work. I suspect you might have version 0.9.8.32 which is the latest non beta version, where these command switches don't exist.

You are correct - how do I update to the beta - doesn't seem to be a pre-release of the regular package, but not sure if I'm checking correctly.

Also interested in the oneliner to install the beta on a bare machine if there is one.

Thanks!

If you already have choco installed use:

choco install Chocolatey -pre

For a fresh machine, there is a url you can use, but I am AFK. @ferventcoder, you around?

@DarwinCSIWindowscom on a fresh machine, rather than doing this:

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

use this:

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/InstallAbsoluteLatest.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

instead. That should get you the latest pre-release version.

I am getting the error that there is no longer a "sources" command - do you want me to submit an issue somewhere?

Also it is prompting for confirmation for each package - is there a way to globally disable that so that it behaves like the prior version?

I can see in the command lines that there is a confirmation prompt, but would prefer not to update all my scripts with the confirmation prompt for every package.

Thanks,
D.

@DarwinCSIWindowscom Please read the documentation. https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/ReleaseNotes

I highly recommend you get familiar with choco -? and choco command -?

For your global insecure confirmation option - #52
