Chocolaty packages not installing via OneGet/PackageManagement in Windows 10?


I'm trying to use oneget w/chocolaty and it doesn't seem to be working at all. The package says it's installed, no warning or notification. It installs the package in the choco directory, but doesn't run the install script and therefore the application is not actually installed. Note this is Windows 10 (Powershell 5).

Get-PackageProvider –Name Chocolatey -ForceBootstrap
Set-PackageSource -Name chocolatey -Trusted 
Install-package filezilla -Verbose -Force -ProviderName chocolatey

yields

powershell result from command

windows directory


Solution

  • The answer - I wouldn't use the OneGet Chocolatey provider until you hear an official announcement that it is up to date and no longer using the early CTP preview that came out in April 2014 (not a typo).

    Until then you should continue to use the official choco client.
