(chocolatey-archiveGH-60) fix upgrade/installation Filestream errors …
…on PSv2 Powershell version 2, has several issues in handling output redirection This is best documented here: https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/587165/ powershell-double-redirection-problem Another obscure bug that occurs in powershell is here. https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/371321/ benign-errors-for-missing-closing-are-left-in-the-error-variable These 2 issues are compounded in the provider, because the benign error sent to $error, then triggers the double redirection issue within puppet. This will automatically fail the resource. This patch is confined to Powershell v2 (Win2008r2/Win7) and essentially captures the output from running chocolateyInstall.ps1 via a variable. We can now see the errors that are thrown instead of the FileStream errors in a log stored here: $env:TEMP\chocoError.log While this may cause a false positive success to be returned to puppet, IMHO this is better than a false failure, based on upstream legacy bugs to be returned, particularly because of the transparency around the $error content. This fix leaves the existing logic intact for Powershell versions >2 as I have not observed. The recommendation to avoid this scenario altogether on Win2008r2 is to install .NET 4.5 and then WMF 4.0, or use Win2012+
