I've discovered how to do it for both administrative and non-administrative users. If I run the installer manually, it asks me for PETER's credentials, but the app gets installed in JOE's user path.Ĭan I get the same behavior with Chocolatey? Am I doing something wrong or can I workaround this some way? But when I run a "single user" install (such as Wunderlist, which is installed at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\.) it get's installed at PETER's AppData and not JOE's AppData. If the app is a install for all users (such as Sublime Text 3, installed at C:\Program Users folder), everything goes OK. Then I can install Chocolatey (in C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey) and install packages on C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\libs. When I open a prompt (or powershell) as admin, windows UAC asks for a admin username/password. So, lets say I have a user JOE that is not an admin on the domain (neither on the machine) and a user PETER that is admin on both, and that I'm logged in as JOE.
I have a domain set on Win 2008 and all my users are not admins.

Chocolatey works with over 20+ installer technologies for Windows.Winget can only handle few formats, like EXE, MSIX, and MSI. A package manager can run scripts, provide server management, centralized reporting, custom configuration, and more.It was unable to update apps, even though a newer version was available. Only a few packages support upgrades on testing.Sometimes it fails to manage dependencies. Uninstall support, in comparison to Chocolatey, is still rudimentary.
If you’re using Winget, at times, you’ll need to click through a setup wizard or security prompt, which diminishes the benefit of having a command-line tool.It makes sense to ask, why you should choose a third-party package manager called Chocolatey? Here are some reasons:įREE CHEAT SHEET: 100+ Essential Windows CMD Commands The launch of WinGet with new features and bug fixes (version 1.1) has raised some new doubts. Till now, Windows OS lacked a comprehensive package manager. And the metadata, in turn, has the app details and the list of dependencies to make it work properly. The package consists of software binaries, configuration files, and metadata. According to Microsoft Docs, a package manager consists of command-line tools and a set of services to automate the entire software management process.
