Chocolatey install - Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel

[Xav83]

Hi everybody, I hope you all have a great day 🙂

I submit this issue to you because I have a problem with the installation of Chocolatey on the test environnement. Indeed, when running the command vagrant provision to run test a package, I end up with the following error :

==> default: Running provisioner: shell...
    default: Running: shell/InstallChocolatey.ps1 as c:\tmp\vagrant-shell.ps1

Here are the information of my setup:

• Vagrant, version 2.2.7
• VirtualBox, version 6.1.2 r135662
• Chocolatey, version 0.10.15

This is my first package, so I may have some element not setup correctly triggering this error. For information, I currently try to upgrade the conan package.

Thank you all for your attention, I hope you can help me with this issue so that I can finally finish upgrading conan package 😄

Hey Xav83, I got the same error while creating a new test environment. I used the following versions of the required software:

• Vagrant, version 2.2.7
• VirtualBox, version 6.0.16 r135674
• Chocolatey, version 0.10.15

After some research I stumbled upon this stackoverflow question which stated, that the security protocol version of powershell may be to old to access the website in the download statement of the installation script. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41618766/powershell-invoke-webrequest-fails-with-ssl-tls-secure-channel).

After adding this line to the file shell/InstallChocolatey.ps1 the installation of chocolatey in the test environment worked flawlessly:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Is this worth a pull request or are there better ways to change the Security Protocol in the Powershell?
