Stupid question... how do I know it installed correctly? #305

I see the "Commando VM" graphic and the 'Tools' folder is in there... but 'cup all' doesn't seem to work, it doesn't seem to recognize 'cinst' image

But a lot of stuff does seem to be there - 

COMMANDO 08/28/2023 08:05:23
PS C:\Windows\system32 > Import-module C:\Tools\PowerSploit\Recon\PowerView.ps1
COMMANDO 08/28/2023 08:05:44
PS C:\Windows\system32 >

Thank you for building this!!

@mathurin68 good question! I'm not sure exactly when but Chocolatey removed those shortened commands, so instead of cinst it will be choco install and instead of cup it will be choco update..

To answer your question, when the install completes the installer package will play a little sound and it will pop up a log file of all of the failed packages for you to inspect.. There will also be a pop-up dialog box that tells you the install is complete. You can check this file in %programdata%\_vm\log.txt. All of your installed packages will also be listed in %programdata%\chocolatey\lib\ (failed packages will be in lib-bad)..

Some more indicators that the install finished are that there is a Tools folder and a PS_Transcripts folder on the Desktop, and that your hostname has been changed to commando and your powershell and cmd prompts have the timestamp on them.
