I get an error upon trying to install Atom

[mithun-daa]

I issued the following command:

cinst Atom -force

and got the following error:

Chocolatey (v0.9.8.20) is installing Atom and dependencies. By installing you accept the license for Atom and each dependency you are installing.

I added the -force since it failed the first time and it said that it already exists.

Can you try upgrading to the latest chocolatey?

cinst chocolatey should get you to 0.9.8.25 and then run cinst Atom -force -debug after that to get more debug output in the case that it still fails.

Here you go:

The default install location has been changed to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey'.
  This install will be updated to that location in the next version. It
  is strongly suggested you move this installation to the new location
  as soon as possible to limit write access from all users. Do not forget
  to update PATH & ChocolateyInstall environment variables.

Looks like this might be related to chocolatey-archive/chocolatey#516 not sure what is causing it though or how it might be fixed.

[kevinsawicki]

This looks like the same error as #19 so I'm going to close it out here.
