Error downloading through Chocolatey

Post by aagha786 »

I just learned about XYplorer and am super excited to use it.

I use Chocolatey for all my software installs, but it seems

However, it seems there's a checksum mismatch on the versions (see attachment).

Is there someone who can please have this resolved?


Best,
Zabe

XY isn't officially offered though Chocolatey, that repo is maintained by some random user.

Looking at the Chocolatey page, there are comments dating back months with this issue. If you insist on using Chocolatey, I would reach out to the maintainer for a solution, because I doubt anything can be done here... Unless of course the maintainer frequents these forums...

Also, that version is a few months behind. We're currently on 23.00.0100. The update history shows that the Chocolatey repo only gets updated about twice a year, meanwhile new XY versions are released usually every couple of weeks, with betas happening almost daily.

Accoridng to your output you can pass the argument --ignore-checksums to force it through. Might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the quick response.

It would be great if XYPlorer supported Chocolatey since so many companies now use it for regular Windows updates.
