Chocolatey should report where the software from a package installs so that it is not a guessing game after install.

(GH-689) Report install location
80cf926 
When unpacking or installing software, determine the install location
of that software. If the install was was unable to be found, report
that as well but report that it was an installer if it was.

If a package is a dependency or has no PowerShell, it should still
clean up env vars between the two packages.

Hello,
Thanks for your efforts with this update. It is really a very handy feature.
However I still cannot figure out how this works on 0.10.15.
Could you please provide some details. I cannot find it anywhere in choco help

How is this issue closed? I still don't see any environment variable or a way to find out the location of a package.

The environment variable $env:ChocolateyToolsLocation determines where software that would be installed to the tools folder would go. See Advanced Variables.

@theShiva Packages are always in $env:ChocolateyInstall\lib - I believe you are stating you don't know where the install location of software might always be. Chocolatey reports what it learns, but there are additional issues in here that are looking for a more advanced look to make that determination.
