When installer fails

[chrissie1]

When an installer fails to install the package should not be put in the lib folder or be removed from the lib folder.

Migrated notes from #15:

I tried to install cUrl, but the package was not found and thus the install failed.

When running cup all, I'm getting this:
curl does not appear to be on (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669). You have 7.21.7 installed. Interesting...

@henningc - I did log another issue for you on what you are experiencing - #16 - I also closed it with chocolatey 0.9.8.11 (which you can get with cup)

[henningc]

Awesome, thanks

Just wanted to comment on this as I had the same issue. Installed ruby, went to install compass and the install failed due to PS not being sourced - exited and reopened PS, gem list showed no compass installed, cinst compass said it was already installed, cinst compass -force and all set (Or just remove from /lib).

Yeah, definitely want to address this in the upcoming version.

When using meta packages this is quite painful. The meta package downloads all the dependencies; one of them fails; chocolatey thinks that all of the dependencies are installed.

Each one needs to be "-forced" installed one by one when error condition is fixed.

Semi-related to #199

This is fixed...

In what release was this fixed? I am running Chocolatey 0.9.8.23. I tried installing 7zip, but I don't have administrator rights on my machine at the moment, so it failed. But when I run "cver all -localonly", I see 7zip installed. Moreover, if I try to uninstall 7zip using "cuninst 7zip", I get the error message saying that the package has not provided an uninstallation script, and I have to uninstall it manually. But 7zip stays in the installed list, and there seems to be no way to remove it.

Yeah I just ran into this, I don't think it's fully fixed.

@mkmurray let's chat on chocolatey/choco, ensure you are on 0.9.10.x.

What you are seeing is likely a different issue and definitely not over here on the old POSH version. Https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/new
