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 path-manager -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 path-manager -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

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).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

Path-Manager 1.0 375 Friday, June 26, 2015 Approved

First version (v1.0) was developed with Visual Studio 2012 Express (C#, .NET 4.5)
Second version (v2.0) is developed with Lazarus IDE v1.0.8 (Pascal)
That means, from version 2.0 Path Manager is a native windows application and it no longer needs .NET framework.

This change also resulted in increased size of executable however increase in performance and speed is significant. New executable of version 2.0 is compressed with upx.

Overview of changes (v2.3):

  • Fixed problem of exception on startup
  • Added function to notify all windows that the environment variables have changed

Overview of changes (v2.2):

  • Removed shortcuts for refresh and about (were causing problem in Windows XP)
  • Added Popup-Menu for variable-list and value-list
  • Restart As Admin button now invisible when Path-Manager is run as admin
  • It seemes that environment change message in not broadcast to applications, as for now, I am looking for some proper solution. For the meantime restarting explorer.exe should do the job.

Overview of changes (v2.1):

  • Support for non-admin users
  • Fixed splitter position bug
  • Refresh environment data without relaunch

Overview of changes (v2.0):

  • Now a standalone application, no need of .NET framework
  • Reduced memory consumption
  • Takes much less time in saving changes
