Something weird about dashes in package names (adobereader and adobereader-update package)

[CMCDragonkai]

So try this:

Install-Package "adobereader"

It complains that there are multiple matching packages.

Now we can select "adobereader":

Install-Package -Name 'adobereader' -RequiredVersion '2015.007.20033' -ProviderName 'chocolatey' -Force

This installs adobereader.

Now to try to install adobereader-update:

Install-Package -Name 'adobereader-update' -ProviderName 'chocolatey' -Force

It fails, because it says that it cannot resolve package dependency -- package 'chocolatey:adobereader/2015.007.20033' not found.

What does this mean? Why is it looking for adobereader when I'm trying to install adobereader-update?

It just means that you should probably just use choco.exe directly for now.

Wait until the announcement of official support for this or you can also try Chocolatey-Get.
