Chocolatey install fails with too-new Node.JS

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

bug

What is the current behavior?
choco install yarn dies if Node.js version is newer than expected. Running %temp%\chocolatey\yarn\yarnInstall.msi succeeds.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

1. Install Node >= 6.9
2. choco install yarn

What is the expected behavior?

• Choco Yarn installer accepts newer versions of Node and continues.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

	version
Node.JS	6.9.1
yarn	—
OS	Windows 7 (6.1 build 7601 SP1)

Having the time to review this, it looks like it's a checksum failure, not related to installing NodeJS. Though, the NodeJS failure shouldn't be reported that way. (Perhaps that's a bug for the choco-Node guys…)

Hmm strange, the error mentions an MD5 checksum, but we're using SHA256 for Yarn. What version of Chocolatey are you running?

I can't repro on Windows 10:

Looks like my Chocolatey is out of date: my v0.9.8.29 vs v0.10.3, as you have.

I'll update my local Chocolatey and re-test; then close if I can't repro.

Thanks for the time!

[adskdouglaz]

Indeed, it looks like the minimum required version of Chocolatey was simply higher than what I had installed. Upgrading to v0.10.3 resolved my issue!

[Daniel15]

Ah yeah, that'd do it! Looks like Chocolatey added SHA256 in version 0.9.9.9: chocolatey/choco#113
