Failed to install ida.plugin.diaphora.vm

[superguo]

What's the problem?

I have already installed flare-vm, and I tried to upgrade it by running install.ps1, something went wrong: (from log.txt)

Then I tried to install ida.plugin.diaphora.vm manually after reboot, but it still failed: (From the console. See Additional Information for the screenshot of the console output)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Installed flare-vm, except that some plugin failed to install
   • Posted #1064 for that plugin
   • Waited until it was fixed
2. Tried to upgrade flare-vm by installing it again
3. A window popped up and showed that ida.plugin.diaphora.vm will be added
4. Failed (See log.txt in What's the problem?)
5. Manually rebooted the VM
6. Followed the instruction in the log mentioned above by running choco install -y ida.plugin.diaphora.vm
7. Still failed (See console output in What's the problem? for logs)

Can you please provide the log files C:\ProgramData\_VM\log.txt and C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log after installing the failing package?

[superguo]

@Ana06 Sure. You don't have to strip the old installation history, because the original log files have been moved to other place before running install.ps1, i.e. these two attached files contain only info about this run. log.txt chocolatey.log

I see some strange things in the logs:

• I see information saying that ida.plugin.diaphora.vm was installed before the error:

  2024/06/06 02:07:53 [installer.vm] chocolateyinstall.ps1 [+] INFO :   ida.plugin.diaphora.vm has been installed

• I see both ida.diaphora.vm and ida.plugin.diaphora.vm being installed. ida.plugin.diaphora.vm is the new version of ida.diaphora.vm, so I do not recommend to install both at the same time. @mandiant/flare-vm should we remove ida.diaphora.vm from MyGet to avoid confusion?

@superguo please install a fresh install of FLARE (from an empty Windows without any package) and ensure you do not install ida.diaphora.vm. Let us know if that resolve the issue.

@Ana06 I just uninstalled ida.diaphora.vm and installed ida.plugin.diaphora.vm SUCCESSFULLY. I don't have much time and VPN traffic to do a fresh install, but since no other people or your CI have such a problem, you can close the issue.
