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

Question

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

I don't know why, but if you don't previously set `Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`, it won't work. — , Aug 01 '15 at 08:44
@yzT I had my execution policy set at Unrestricted, so that shouldn't matter? normally restrictions outright fail the install. — Ashtonian, Aug 03 '15 at 17:06
According to this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176961.aspx, it should work. Also I have noticed that some packages (e.g. Audacious) do not have a installer, but you can find the executable at `C:\Chocolatey\lib\package_name\bin\` — , Aug 03 '15 at 17:44
I fixed my issue by running `Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted` in PowerShell while running as an admin. Then `Uninstall-Package` followed by `Install-Package.` — codeConcussion, Nov 11 '15 at 02:21

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.

Ouch.. I saw the provider prototype on GH, unfortunately I don't see a place to jump in. – Ashtonian Jul 30 '15 at 19:29

You can jump into Gitter and chat about where you can jump in https://gitter.im/chocolatey/chocolatey-oneget – ferventcoder Jul 30 '15 at 19:56
Joel, this was the answer yesterday. Not sure what kind of update you think there might be in one day. :) – ferventcoder Aug 01 '15 at 13:06
I've been able to install ally my chocolatey packages using the OneGet package source. I think it's as official as it's going to get at this point – kenwarner Aug 03 '15 at 01:25
Thanks for the update Ken. We'll send out a note when the official one is available. – ferventcoder Aug 03 '15 at 01:33
@FSCKur That's not relevant to this post. – ferventcoder Aug 18 '21 at 21:45

As mentioned in comments, I also tried to fix the problem by running Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted in PowerShell, but I was still having problems with forbidden TLS/SSL security protocols.

And then (as mentioned) I tried through CMD-> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell.exe

and then in PowerShell :

> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePoin tManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net. WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

No more problems with TLS/SSL SecurityProtocol.
