v16 Win64 installer succeeds but hangs in choco powershell script 'Channels' section when NoUpdate status #44336
Comments

Same thing just happened to me 5 minutes ago. As I was writing this, PowerShell finally continued after hanging for a long, long time. |
Same for me, but has not continued yet. But good to know it has a chance at continuing. Log

Just experienced this issue, hung for 5-10 minutes then finished and prompted for closure. Hang in there I guess, to anybody else experiencing this. |
Must be just the right time; here I was with it just under a day later. I'm pretty sure that's what "NoUpdate" actually indicates; that it's disabling the verbose output we'd been seeing on the screen previously. Without a message of any sort, it leaves one to wonder, though! Update: Well, I hung in there, and after what felt like a lifetime*, it finally completed, ending with the Chocolatey Install/Upgrade job summary. So yeah, it's basically just handling silent mode installation. *Actually only like 25 minutes. I could see in Task Manager that PowerShell was actually chugging away; particularly disk usage, which suggested some installation was happening. And then Visual Studio Installer silently did something intensive, followed by "Windows® Installer", "Windows Modules Installer Worker", etc.) So basically, if nothing is visibly happening and you're afraid it's hung, just check task manager. |

I have waiting for about 20 minutes and nothing happen. And then I check task manager and nothing to process. So I close it (Ctrl + C) and it has already finished. Maybe a little bug |
|
Update: After a while I randomly switched between two of my open powershell windows and the script finished and closed its own window. My install paused at this point: Have only been waiting for a few minutes |
|
Check in Task Manager - Details if the setup.exe of the VisualStudio Installer is running - I waited for a while, stumbled across this thread, waited a bit longer while the PowerShell process was idle and seemingly nothing happened, but the VS build tools were installing in the background, took about 30 minutes then continued successfully! |
