We have always provided Chocolatey packaging with all our applications that can be packaged in order to make it easier for Windows users to install them, with a command-line program instead of having to search the web manually. This was implemented more than 5 years ago when Nitrocid needed an easy way to be installed in Windows systems.

When we showcased the improvements to the Chocolatey packaging, they were pointing toward a bundle installer generated by the WiX installer toolset, which added another way to install our applications. This allowed us to implement the WinGet method of installing our apps.

However, we are experiencing problems pushing the improved packages to Chocolatey due to a bug in the validator that caused it to report that our packages were failing automated checks. According to the checker, the checksum validation function wasn’t implemented. However, the checker has failed to take into account the fact that we have passed the correct checksum to the correct parameter, and that local tests showed that checksum validation was taking place.

We will temporarily suspend all distribution of Chocolatey packages until we can find a permanent fix to this issue.

However, we recommend that our users use the WinGet installation method as it’s easier and faster than the Chocolatey method. WinGet comes bundled with Windows, which makes it easier to install applications without having to download a third-party application. This saves time and effort put into installing applications.

We apologize for your inconvenience.
