Your attempt had this error:

Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib-bad' is denied.

Running chocolatey with admin privileges should help.

Example:

Run your powershell as admin

You should see installation works

While the first picture is 'ok', the second is poor form. https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/285551/why-should-i-not-upload-images-of-code-data-errors-when-asking-a-question/285557#285557 It's also a good idea to explain why. Perhaps copying the relevant error out of the Question. (Since it's text, you can do that.) Notice my edit. – Jeter-work May 13 '22 at 19:47
I didn't think this anyone read this it was really out there problem that i think it was rarely anyone encounters, I approved the edit – Leslie Wubbel May 14 '22 at 19:53
