It appears your choco.exe (actual, not the shim in the bin directory) may have disappeared? |

So you have |
You're the expert, I'm just a stupid user. I don't know (yet) what a "shimmed exe" is nor what it is suppose do do -- where is it documented? Anyway, here are the contents of PS C:\Users\win> dir C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\

Ok, the renaming workaround seems to have worked... I still wonder what may have caused the problem. |
Nevermind, I found something which I'll have to read first before asking further questions: |
I'm not really keen to that terminology. It was more about understanding if the file went missing or not. |

Seems like an upgrade of Chocolatey may have failed and there was no more choco.exe. If you wouldn't mind, can you provide a zip of your logs folder to ferventcoder at gmail so I can review to see if it is a bug in the installer? |
It happened again: just now, when upgrading 0.9.10.2 -> 0.9.10.3. In PowerShell, I see this: [....] Chocolatey upgraded 1/323 packages. 8 packages failed.

From the logs it appears this is due to multiple choco.exe processes being run at the same time and pending #198 deleting the Chocolatey package out of lib before it has had a chance to complete. 0.9.10.3 added #822 to address a small window of wait time but it can still cause this if you run multiple choco.exe processes at the same time. |

@KurtPfeifle is this still an issue or did we resolve this? |
Please have a look at the following series of commands I've been executing:
