Hi

After build , I want to create chocolatey package using cpack so it can be pushed to myget.
https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki/CommandsPack

I assume cpack should work fine as chocolatey is already installed on build instances but running cpack returns following error that CPack generator not specified. Any idea what is wrong. I expect in this case it should simply say 'Please specify a nuspec or project file to use.' but instead it shows this error

   Set "Install" script to CMD mode - that should do a trick.

   OK, I see now. I thought you are call cpack which is part of cmake and installed on build workers :)

   Switch back to PowerShell and call choco pack instead.
