We're currently not able to build due to this error:

Cannot find file at '../chocolateyInstall/chocolatey.cmd' (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\chocolateyInstall\chocolatey.cmd). This usually indicates a missing or moved file

Any ideas?

   Hi Andrew,

   Chocolatey 9.9.8 has been deployed to build worker images: http://www.appveyor.com/updates/2015/07/13

   Seems like there is no more chocolatey.cmd, but there is "C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\chocolatey.exe". Though I'd better stick with standard choco install <something> approach as Chocolatey location/files can change in the future.

   None of our scripts are referencing chocolatey.cmd directly. It looks like issue occurs when we call:

   choco install octopustools
   Cannot find file at '../chocolateyInstall/chocolatey.cmd' (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\chocolateyInstall\chocolatey.cmd). This usually indicates a missing or moved file.

   That's strange. Just tested the command - it worked fine for me: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/simple-console/build/...

   Do you install Chocolatey in your builds?

   I think I figured it out. We cached these folder locations:

   C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin
   C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib

   These were setup awhile ago to make the build process faster, and seems we had forgotten about them.

   Thanks for your help.
