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 vcredist2017 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'14.0.24516.0-preview5'" --prerelease [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 vcredist2017 -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'14.0.24516.0-preview5'" --prerelease
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

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

Exit $exitCode

Description

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio "15" Preview 5 installs run-time components of Visual C++ libraries. These components are required to run C++ applications that are developed using Visual Studio "15" Preview 5 and link dynamically to Visual C++ libraries. The packages can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio “15” Preview 5 installed. These packages also install run-time components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries.

PLEASE NOTE: This preview has not been subject to final validation and is not meant to be run on production workstations or servers.

DISCLAIMER: The package id is just an educated guess based on the naming of the Web Platform Installer product VWDOrVs2017AzurePack - Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET (VS "15" Preview). There is no official confirmation that Visual Studio "15" will be released in 2017 or that it will be named Visual Studio 2017.

WARNING: Due to the way Microsoft has built the installer, it replaces the existing Visual Studio 2015 Redistributable (i.e. performs an in-place upgrade). The entry in Programs and Features is still named "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable".

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 10 / Server 2016, Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 (with KB2919355), Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 SP1 (with KB3033929) / Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Vista SP2 / Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows XP SP3

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.
