Install of License Requires Subsequent Admin Chocolatey Execution

[ryanrichter94]

What You Are Seeing?

When installing a new license file, Chocolatey needs invoked as admin again in order for the config update with the new password entry for the chocolatey.licensed source to be written to the chocolatey.config file.

What is Expected?

This config change should not require an additional invoking of Chocolatey as admin to make work. This should all be handled by the same session.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

1. Ran choco upgrade chocolatey-license -y logged in as a non-admin user but having background service configured.
2. Next time a chocolatey command is run by the same user an error is thrown.

System Details

• OS Build: 10.0.20348.0
• Windows PowerShell version: 5.1.20348.558
• Chocolatey version: 1.1.0
