Same. Seeing "ERROR: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'file'." |
I was running this on a windows 7 machine and getting the same errors. I was able to solve and get meteor installed by updating Powershell to version 3, which is apparently for chocolatey to run correctly even though it doesn't give up any other outward errors. I just downloaded the update appropriate for my computer here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595 |
Thanks, @fallerd. Upgrading Powershell allowed for successful installation. |
I've started a pull request that should resolve this issue for those using Powershell 2 |
Thanks to @dhulme, the fix for this should be now be published in the beta version of the new installer,
Please do help test! It will take some time to get 0.0.2 approved by Chocolatey, so if there's anything else we want to release in 0.0.2 we should get that squared away soon. |
0.0.2-beta-1 confirmed working on Windows 7 |

@abernix 's suggestion to use the current beta fixed this issue for me as well. Windows7x64 via VMWare Fusion

@mdingena Could you either run the installer again with the @lacymorrow So glad to hear it! That's definitely the issue for Windows 7 users. We'll submit it for official approval by Chocolatey soon, though I was hoping to get one more bug into it since they Chocolatey takes several days to approve installer updates. |
The same issue is with kafka packge |
I am unable to install Metoer 1.6 through chocolatey on Windows 7 64-bit. I have removed the old Meteor installer. Below is the output from Powershell. The first time I tried to install, I think I got an error about path being over 240 characters, but I have not been able to reproduce this since. I have attached the chocolatey log.
