shimgen errors causing successful package installation to fail #115
Description
We're installing some software that is being installed via chocolatey/powershell as part of our Packer build process. While the software is being completely and successfully installed, shimgen is throwing some errors that ultimately get reported back to packer as exit 1 causing the whole build to fail. Here's a sample of the error:
Calling command ['"C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\tools\shimgen.exe" --path="..\\lib\xboxgdk\tools\Installers\powershellStub.exe" --output="C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\powershellStub.exe" --iconpath="C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\xboxgdk\tools\Installers\powershellStub.exe"']
