Feature-Request: Provide a parameter to switch versions of side-by-side installation via choco

[DenWin]

Assuming we have installed different versions of a package using choco:

choco install package --version 1.2.3 -my
choco install package --version 2.0.0 -my

It would be nice to allow using the same shim-file with a version parameter:

$ package --shimgen-help
[shim]:
=========
Shim Help
=========

This is a shim, generated by Chocolatey's ShimGenerator (shimgen).
This shim calls a target with the following settings:
 Target: 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\package.2.0.0\tools\package.exe'
 Target exists: 'True'
 Working directory: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'
 GUI: 'False'
 Wait for exit: 'True'
 command (optional): ''

$ package -packageArgs --shimgen-version 1.2.3  --shimgen-help
[shim]:
=========
Shim Help
=========

This is a shim, generated by Chocolatey's ShimGenerator (shimgen).
This shim calls a target with the following settings:
 Target: 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\package.1.2.3\tools\package.exe'
 Target exists: 'True'
 Working directory: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'
 GUI: 'False'
 Wait for exit: 'True'
 command (optional): ''

It should also work if the target is Target: 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\package\tools\package.exe'

Based on some changes happening to the Chocolatey repositories, this issue has been moved from the chocolatey/shimgen repository to the chocolatey/home repository.

As we plan to deprecate side-by-side installs in version 2.0.0 of Chocolatey CLI, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
