Choco: Chocolatey trying to install in non-elevated environment

[ForNeVeR]

There seems to be bug with installing while the user have not enough privileges.

1. Install fresh Windows.
2. Open the _non-elevated_ cmd.exe.
3. Execute an install instruction from the Chocolatey site: @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
4. It asks whether the user wants to install it:

```
Installing chocolatey on this machine
Chocolatey v0.9.9.4

Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell
(cmd/powershell). You may experience errors - many functions/packages
require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an
elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure
that you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected.

Do you want to continue?
1) yes
2) no [Default - Press Enter]
```

1. I've pressed Enter and it still trying to do something! (And, yep, it failed.)

  1. And it asked me again if I want to do anything, and I said "no" again, and it did something again:

Chocolatey (choco.exe) is now ready.
You can call choco from anywhere, command line or powershell by typing choco.
Run choco /? for a list of functions.
You may need to shut down and restart powershell and/or consoles
first prior to using choco.

I don't see this as an issue as the website states you need to use an elevated command prompt to install.

[ferventcoder]

The PowerShell Installer (chocolateyInstall.ps1) is calling choco.exe several times during the install, each of those times the question pops up. Each time you select no, that individual run of choco.exe stops, but then the next one runs. The errors about unable to find things are because the calls to choco are to unpack the other files, when you tell it no, it doesn't unpack.

When you click that link, see the following: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Installation#non-administrative-install

[ferventcoder]

The answer here for non-admin is the link above, which explains not to install to the default location.

[mintucs]

Installation of Chocolatey to default folder requires Administrative permissions. Please run from elevated prompt.
Please see https://chocolatey.org/install for details and alternatives if needing to install as a non-administrator.

• Type cmd on windows search

• Right click on CMD result, and click run as administrator.

...you're using elevated prompt, and the command should run now.

My solution was to run as administrator powershell

[Sriramkothandaraman]

* Type cmd on windows search

* Right click on CMD result, and click run as administrator.

...you're using elevated prompt, and the command should run now.

So i did try this, but i'm getting this "WARNING: It's very likely you will need to close and reopen your shell
before you can use choco.
WARNING: You can safely ignore errors related to missing log files when

'Batch file could not be found' is also safe to ignore.

[ferventcoder]

@Sriramkothandaraman that is normal messages for the install. Those are warnings so you take note of the information being provided, but unless it goes red, it's not an error. :D

* Right click on CMD result, and click run as administrator.

Thank you it works
