choco install visualstudio2022buildtools fails

[MattGalton]

Description

Hello,

I am trying to install some packages from visualstudio2022buildtools and have recently started getting some errors. This was not an issue around a week ago. I was hoping to ask if anyone has come across the same issue and knows a fix.

I am trying to run

 choco install visualstudio2022community -y 
--params "
    --remove Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools
    --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.35.17.5.x86.x64
    --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.CMake.Project
    --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.35.17.5.ATL
    --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.20348
"

Installation continues as normal up to this first warning

Visual Studio Installer has been installed.
WARNING: The Visual Studio Installer got updated to version 3.8.2112.61926, which is still lower than the requirement of version 3.8.2122.37638 or later.

Then, I get the following error

Repro steps

Try to install package visualstudio2022buildtools using choco:

steps:
      - name: Install Dependencies
        env:
          VS_INSTALLER_VERSION: '117.8.2.0'
          VS_INSTALLER_PARAMS: >-
            --remove Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools
            --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.35.17.5.x86.x64
            --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.CMake.Project
            --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.14.35.17.5.ATL
            --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.20348
        run: |
          choco install visualstudio2022buildtools --version ${{env.VS_INSTALLER_VERSION}} --params "${{env.VS_INSTALLER_PARAMS}}" -y

I have tried using the latest VS_INSTALLER_VERSION to no avail.

Hello! This error is connected with choco and its packages itself, while this repository contains the issues about runner-images usage, please report your concerns directly to choco package maintainer at https://github.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages

[MattGalton]

Thanks for the quick feedback. I had assumed it was a gh runner issue since I managed to install locally fine. I will get in touch with the choco package gang directly. Cheers!

Your link was super helpful @mikhailkoliada, thanks!

In case anyone else stumbles across this and has the same issue:

Workaround

• choco install visualstudio2022buildtools and friends is not completely independent of the environment that you install it in.
• VS 2022 Enterprise being installed on the windows-2022 image is borking the installation of the choco package (See Choco install visualstudio2017-workload-vctools no longer works on windows-2019 jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages#97 (comment)).
• Do a choco upgrade visualstudio2022enterprise before trying your install.
