Great, Microsoft is apparently on an in-place installer update spree.
Actually, this is not a problem with vcredist-all
, but rather with those specific packages and should be reported to maintainers of those packages. It so happens, however, that I'm also one of the maintainers of vcredist2008 and vcredist2010 (which live in https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-coreteampackages/tree/master/manual). I've already prepared a fix for 2010 and I guess I'll do 2008 tomorrow.
As for 2005, I can see that it has the same maintainer as vcredist2010 had until very recently - when we took over that package because the maintainer did not respond. So we probably should take over 2005, too.

I'm a simple builder of container images and it drops a bomb of terrible user experience of Microsoft's packages indeed!
Thank you for helping out!

@VisualStudio In any case, we'll pass to our team the URL you've sent us to check it.
Fixes done, awaiting PR review (and chocolatey.org admins approval of taking over vcredist2005): https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-coreteampackages/pull/1654 (2008, 2010) https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-coreteampackages/pull/1657 (2005)
All vcredistNNNN packages have been fixed. However, due to a versioning scheme fix in 2005, vcredist-all needed a fix in the dependency version. It is now pending moderation.
Is it possible to ping someone who is responsible for the moderation process?
~ done :smile:
Possibly this issue should be closed then?
Yes, unless @jberezanski knows a reason not to
No, I was kind of waiting to see if any other vcredists would get the same kind of in-place update, but I guess all is done.
Thank you @jberezanski once again
The
choco install -y vcredist-all
had been working fine (apart tiny temporary issue due to https://github.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages/issues/102) and it stopped working for me around two days ago due to multiple errors likeFull output of the command:
UPDATE: The installation seems successful w/ ignored checksums:
