Ubiquitous Install Directory - Request for Installer Type Addition #234

Closed ryanrichter94 closed 3 years ago

ryanrichter94 commented 3 years ago

What You Are Seeing?

When running choco install 1password --install-directory C:\Programs\1password -y pulling version 7.7.810 i'm getting the following log output with an error regarding Chocolatey being unable to detect the installer type.

Output Log

ERROR: Unable to detect installer type and override install directory. Please remove --install-directory override switch.
The install of 1password was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\1password\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.
 See log for details.

What is Expected?

Is it possible to have this type of executable file referenced in the Chocolatey Licensed Code base to allow for passing --install-directory as feature when working with this type of installer.

What's the installer type being used? Custom installers notwithstanding, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do with custom installers (unfortunately).

Went through and attempted to find installer type for this exacutable. Ran through Universal Sient Switch Finder(USSF) as well as other know methods to invoke silent switches in order to find out an installer type. Unable to find installer type so closing issue.
