Chocolatey was not found after UnigetUI installation using chocolatey
Please confirm these before moving forward
- [x] I have searched for my issue and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have tested that this issue has not been fixed in the latest (beta or stable) release.
- [x] I have checked the FAQ section for solutions.
- [x] This issue is about a bug (if it is not, please use the correct template).
UniGetUI Version
3.2.0
Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 11 pro 10.0.26100.4349 x64
Describe your issue
after a fresh installtion of UniGetUI by chocolatey i obtain the message "The executable file for Chocolatey was not found", but indeed chocolatey is installed, because I used it to install UniGetUI.
while writing the error report, i discovered that the problem can be solved by activating the “Use system Chocolatey” slide switch (see section “screenshots” below ).
i suggest: a) to leave this report here for documentation purposes. b) that UNiGetUI searches for chocolatey during setup and automatically activates the above-mentioned slide switch if it is found.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Install a fresh Windows 11.
- Install chocolatey ([https://chocolatey.org/install#individual](Install Chocolatey for Individual Use).
- Open elevated cmd.exe.
- Run "choco install wingetui".
- double-click icon "UniGetUI"
- go to "package manager preferences"
- go to "chocolatey settings"

I will be modifying the chocolatey package to enable this setting by default
This should also be fixed by #3703 when I'm able to finish it in a few weeks.
in the UniGetUI installer there is an option “install chocolatey” which is active by default. isn't this also affected by the above-mentioned change?!
Newer UniGetUI versions, when installed from chocolatey, will make UniGetUI use system chocolatey by default
