Chocolatey package Nartac IIS Crypto 3.0 is no longer installing from the cli


Our automated scripts have been installing this package for sometime without any issues. We also had this problem last week with the azcopy package (same error) - it was failing for around 4 days and then miraculously started working again. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Installing the package using: choco install iiscrypto

It seems that installing the choco package iiscrypto-cli 3.1 package is currently failing with the error message:

"ERROR: The remote file either doesn't exist, is unauthorized, or is forbidden for url 'https://www.nartac.com/Downloads/IISCrypto/IISCrypto40.exe'. Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.""


Solution

  • It looks like that file has been moved (or removed) by the owner of the software site it's being downloaded from. This is causing the package installation to fail when it attempts to download one of the files, not a problem with Chocolatey CLI itself.

    The package is outdated, as well, but in this case the problem is the second file that is being downloaded which no longer exists.

    I notice that someone-who-is-probably-you has left a comment on the Disqus feed for that package. I would suggest additionally, either:

    • Going to Possible Package Source and PRing the updated links into the package or
    • Going to the Possible Package Source and leaving an issue mentioning that the package is broken or
    • Hitting the Contact Maintainers button and reporting that the package is broken

    You can probably find updated links by clicking the Software Site button, finding it's also outdated, and then going to the root of the site - nartac.com, which does still exist.
