  • The purpose of Azure service accounts is to grant permissions to resources in Azure. There are three types of Azure accounts: service principals, managed identities, and user accounts employed as service accounts.

  • Ok, I found the source of your problem. You can’t use a path on the “install” argument. You need to specify either a path to a .nupkg or .nuspec file, which is now deprecated. Or you use the –source option

    On my example, to install paint.net.portable from a local source, I just did:
    choco install paint.net.portable –source “C:Usersmy_userDesktoplocal_chocopackagespaint.net.portable”

    So, I guess you will have to modify your script in order to make it work.

    Since I only want to install a package, this is enough for me.

    Best regards

  • Hard to debug this if it is not clear to which lines the error messages refer to.

  • But anyway, I ran this differently:
    Install-LocalChocoPackage -PackageSource “C:Usersmy_userDesktoplocal_chocopaint.net.portable”

    Then I’m getting this:

  • I added the missing }. Thanks!

    I wonder why your error occurred in line 5 because in the script of the article line 5 only contains a comment.

  • Sorry, I just saw that there is an example on the source comments. I will try it that way

  • Hi

    First at all, you are missing a ‘}’ at the end. Secondly, how about an example on how to use this? I’m a newbie in PowerShell. I tried saving your script into a filed called: “install-local.ps1”.

    Inside that file I put this at the end:
    Install-LocalChocoPackage “C:Usersmy_userDesktoplocal_chocopaint.net.portable”

    I previously downloaded paint.net.portable from here:
    https://github.com/SebastianK90/chocolateyautomaticpackages/tree/master/paint.net.portable

    Then I ran it as follows:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; .install-local.ps1

    But now, I’m getting the error at the bottom of this message.

    How can I solve it?

    Best regards
    Josef

  • Please notice that the second line, there are two instances of triple columns. So, what do they mean?

  • In IPv6, the double colon notation “::” is used to represent a series of consecutive blocks of zeros (i.e., all zeros in a row) within an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses can also start with a 0.
