Most helpful comment

I got the same error. I first ran out of disk space while installing git choco install git. I then cleared some space and reran choco install git and got the error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco install git  -fv
Chocolatey v0.10.11
Installing the following packages:
git
By installing you accept licenses for the packages.
Unable to read package from path 'git.install\git.install.nupkg'.

I then solved the problem by deleting the git.install folder in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib.

@KarStudio can you provide more information about exactly the problem that you are facing?

What are you doing when you see that error?

Can you provide a complete set of steps to reproduce this problem?

Same time different nuget packages are installed without this issue

@cniweb are you able to try the workaround suggested by @jakobht ?

Since this is not an issue with Chocolatey GUI, I am going to go ahead and close this issue.

@gep13 Yes it helps me.
