(wireshark) install fails on AppVeyor since 3.0 about chocolatey-packages

[mkevenaar]

Hi, thanks for contacting me,

I needed to add the vcredist140 as a dependancy to get the installation working. As @AdmiringWorm already suggested on gitter, try to installde KB dependencies without executing them

choco install -n KB3033929 KB2919355 kb2999226

If there are any more failing packages, add them to the list.

Hope this helps,

Maurice

It seems that it did the trick 😄 thanks

I’ll just make sure everything works as expected and close this issue.

I've done some digging around, and believe I've found the reason those packages don't work on appveyor.

A required service is disabled on appveyor (the windows update service), and because it's disabled no updates can be installed (nor can the packages detect if they are already installed).

All three packages depend on an extension to make the installation of updates simpler, the author of that extension closed a issue for the inability to install updates on appveyor (or rather when the service isn't running) explaining it is by design.

I noticed that one package id is invalid, could you try to build with this list?

Thanks again for your support,
Good day

@gpotter2 if I am allowed to make an suggestion and if you have time, could you try and figure out wich KB package is causing this and create an issue on that repo? Perhaps we can improve that package to get it working without this workaround...

Not sure exactly how to do that. So far:

• Only using the above on KB3033929: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/secdev/scapy/builds/23480566/job/765o0i8m7dw9trye (failed)
• Only using the above on KB2919355: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/secdev/scapy/builds/23480582/job/vb1mhtq3602u6law (failed)
• Only using the above on kb2999226: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/secdev/scapy/builds/23480606/job/npda18l58r1nvrnc (failed)

You can have a look at what I used over secdev/scapy#1961

They tend to report stuff such as

WARNING: Update KB3035131 installation failed (exit code 1058).
WARNING: More details may be found in the installation log (C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\chocolatey\KB3035131.Install.evt) or the system CBS log (C:\windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log).
ERROR: Update KB3035131 installation failed (exit code 1058).
The install of kb3035131 was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\KB3035131\Tools\ChocolateyInstall.ps1'.
 See log for details.

Would the logs be useful ? Which ones ?

@gpotter2 I think all tree packages do not work on the AppVeyor environment. I would like to suggest to go to the package page and open an issue there.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your explanation.
