"C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\.chocolatey\chocolatey.0.10.15\.files" full of "null" rather than XML

What You Are Seeing?

I am aware that I can delete these bad XML files but I just wanted to add this issue to make you aware it happened

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco upgrade all -y Chocolatey v0.10.15 Upgrading the following packages: all By upgrading you accept licenses for the packages.

Chocolatey upgraded 0/0 packages. See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log). '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

What is Expected?

I expected choco to be able to upgrade the packages

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

I recently upgraded to choco 0.10.15 I can see that the .files have null values than valid XML

I also found this file to be "corrupted" C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\chocolatey\chocolatey.nuspec Attached as .ZIP to bypas github file filter. chocolatey.ZIP

[dhjensen]

Deleting that file solved my last "problems" and I could perform choco upgrade again

[ferventcoder]

What version of choco did you upgrade from when you upgraded to 0.10.15?

[dhjensen]

Thx for responding I don't remember anymore... :)

[dhjensen]

@ferventcoder Feel free to close this issue as I don't have any more to contribute and I haven't seen similar issues since.

[ferventcoder]

Thanks for reminding me to get this closed off and labeled properly.

[ferventcoder]

No repro is what I meant to go with there.
