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

  • 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

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade chrlauncher.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.2.0.20170208'" [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 chrlauncher.portable -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.2.0.20170208'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

NOTE

This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.

  • Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
  • Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
  • Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

Package Approved

This package was approved by moderator AdmiringWorm on 17 Feb 2017.

Description

A small and very fast portable launcher and updater for Chromium.

This package:

  • installs chrlauncher, not Chromium.
  • will set chrlauncher to download/install/update Chromium without the need for admin rights.
  • by default, sets the install location for Chromium to be the per-user, %APPDATA% directory. Use the /Shared package parameter (below) to make the Chromium install location be in the chrlauncher directory and have Chromium (and all its settings) shared among all users.

Note

Other (system-wide) chrlauncher settings can be modified in the chrlauncher.ini file located in the same directory as the target of the Chromium Launcher desktop shortcut. Some options include:

  • Auto download updates
  • Show a chrlauncher window when updating (default is a tray icon only)
  • Type of Chromium build
  • Update check period

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

  • /Default - Make chrlauncher the default "browser". This option requires installing with admin rights.
  • /Shared - Share the Chromium install among all users.

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of -params.
For example:
choco install chrlauncher.portable -params '"/Default"'.

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).
