Deployment Method:
NOTE
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download chocolatey-compatibility.extension --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/ -
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" - Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade chocolatey-compatibility.extension -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade chocolatey-compatibility.extension -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Package Approved
This package was approved by moderator Pauby on 21 Oct 2024.
Description
This package provides helper functions that re-introduces helpers that were removed or updated
in Chocolatey, as well as helpers that are not available in older version of Chocolatey CLI.
The purpose of the package is to allow older packages to keep functioning even on later versions
of Chocolatey CLI where certain helpers have been removed.
The helpers included in this package may not have any logic to handle the functionality to keep
existing, but rather to ensure that packages using the helpers do not stop working.
WARNING: Do NOT use helpers located in this package for removed functionality, unless absolutely necessary!

extensions\helpers\Get-UninstallRegistryKey.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Retrieve registry key(s) for system-installed applications from an exact or wildcard search.
.DESCRIPTION
This function will attempt to retrieve a matching registry key for an already installed application,
usually to be used with a chocolateyUninstall.ps1 automation script.
The function also prevents `Get-ItemProperty` from failing when handling wrongly encoded registry keys.
.PARAMETER SoftwareName
Part or all of the Display Name as you see it in Programs and Features.
It should be enough to be unique.
The syntax follows the rules of the PowerShell `-like` operator, so the `*` character is interpreted
as a wildcard, which matches any (zero or more) characters.
If the display name contains a version number, such as "Launchy (2.5)", it is recommended you use a
fuzzy search `"Launchy (*)"` (the wildcard `*`) so if Launchy auto-updates or is updated outside
of chocolatey, the uninstall script will not fail.
Take care not to abuse fuzzy/glob pattern searches. Be conscious of programs that may have shared
or common root words to prevent overmatching. For example, "SketchUp*" would match two keys with software
names "SketchUp 2016" and "SketchUp Viewer" that are different programs released by the same company.
.PARAMETER IgnoredArguments
Allows splatting with arguments that do not apply and future expansion. Do not use directly.
.INPUTS
System.String
.OUTPUTS
PSCustomObject
.EXAMPLE
[array]$key = Get-UninstallRegistryKey -SoftwareName "VLC media player"
$key.UninstallString
Exact match: software name in Programs and Features is "VLC media player"
.EXAMPLE
[array]$key = Get-UninstallRegistryKey -SoftwareName "Gpg4win (*)"
$key.UninstallString
Version match: software name is "Gpg4Win (2.3.0)"
.EXAMPLE
[array]$key = Get-UninstallRegistryKey -SoftwareName "SketchUp [0-9]*"
$key.UninstallString
Version match: software name is "SketchUp 2016"
Note that the similar software name "SketchUp Viewer" would not be matched.

.SYNOPSIS
DEPRECATED - This adds a shortcut on the desktop to the specified file path.
.DESCRIPTION
Determines the desktop folder and creates a shortcut to the specified
file path. Will not throw errors if it fails.
It is recommended you use `Install-ChocolateyShortcut` instead of this
method as this has been removed upstream.
.NOTES
This function was removed and deprecated in Chocolatey CLI in favor of using
https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/functions/install-chocolateyshortcut.
As the recommendation is to no longer use this function, no updates
will be accepted to fix any problems.
Compared to original function that was available in Chocolatey CLI, this
implementation do not include any error handling, nor any promise that shortcuts
will be created in the same way as Chocolatey CLI did it.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
