📜 What part of Winutil are you having issues with?

First install

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

In Windows 11 Sandbox (so nothing installed), running the toolbox indicates chocolatey failed to install. However, the script continues and chocolatey has indeed installed and is successfully run to install Notepad++. Log script shows 'Chocolatey failed to install' and 'Failed to install notepadplusplus due to an error: This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified' These errors would imply failure, but both chocolatey and notepad++ were successfully installed. This seems to 'tarnish' the winUtil with a bad smell and make it untrustworthy?

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Start Windows 11 Sandbox. Run toolbox from Powershell. Select Notepad++ Use chocolatey as installer Upon clicking 'install', return to powershell to view log

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

why are you even using Chocolatey ?

[chrisjlocke]

1. Because I'm familiar with it.
2. It has packages provided that I require.
3. It's an option within winUtil.
4. It works

Do I really need to justify it?

[GabiNun]

yes you really do winget is just so much easier

[chrisjlocke]

Which is only your opinion which may or may not be right which is not related to this issue.

[GabiNun]

ye i gusse it is my opinion but i really dont see any way that choco is better than winget

[chrisjlocke]

I honestly don't care. You believe what you want. Your opinion doesn't change the issue to which I've raised.

[GabiNun]

ok i agree but the issue isn't with winutil its with Chocolatey
