What You Are Seeing?

When attempting to get information about the installed NewFileInstaller template, an error output is shown saying that the template cannot be found.

If I change the name of the template folder from NewFileInstaller to newfileinstaller it is found correctly:

What is Expected?

The installed template should be found, without the need to change the casing of the name of the folder

How Did You Get This To Happen?

  1. With CLE installed, run the following command choco new --file <path-to-any-exe>
  2. This will generate a new NewFileInstaller folder in the c:/programdata/chocolatey/templates folder
  3. Run choco template list
  4. You will see the NewFileInstaller template listed as being available
  5. Run choco template info --name NewFileInstaller
  6. You will get an error stating Unable to find requested template 'newfileinstaller'
