After triggering the command `choco install --force -api-et-api -y

It is showing followuing error

 See log for details.

I have tried with typeconversion in both explicit and implicit way but it did not work. Can choclatey env parameter end as paramter?

    remove the brackets and commas from the function call `deployhProject($service_ebusiness_api,...)`. PowerShell user `spaces` – Theo Aug 21 '21 at 18:23
  • In short: PowerShell functions, cmdlets, scripts, and external programs must be invoked _like shell commands_ - `foo arg1 arg2` - _not_ like C# methods - `foo('arg1', 'arg2')`. If you use `,` to separate arguments, you'll construct an _array_ that a command sees as a _single argument_. To prevent accidental use of method syntax, use [`Set-StrictMode -Version 2`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/set-strictmode) or higher, but note its other effects. See [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/65208621/45375) for more information. – mklement0 Aug 21 '21 at 18:31
  • @Theo no. That portion is commented out – MD. Ashfaqur Rahman Tahashin Aug 21 '21 at 18:31

    @MD.AshfaqurRahmanTahashin, it's not the parentheses that are the problem, it's passing what you intend to be _separate_ arguments with `,` as the separator, which instead passes a _single_ argument that is an _array_. – mklement0 Aug 21 '21 at 18:32
  • @mklement0 that error is solved getting new error Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'Senv' does not exist. – MD. Ashfaqur Rahman Tahashin Aug 21 '21 at 18:55

    `Senv` -> `$env` - see Theo's link. – mklement0 Aug 21 '21 at 19:12
