Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade imdisk -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.7.6'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade imdisk -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.7.6'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

Release 1.7.6 of ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver.

  • API changed so that CreateDevice/Ex and RemoveDevice now handle directory mount points directly. This makes it possible for applications to call just one function for most common mount or dismount tasks. This also indirectly means that DiscUtilsDevio.exe now handle directory mount points as well, which it did not do before.
  • Uninstall script. Idea via e-mail from "kbh". When ImDisk is uninstalled from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel, it now checks first to see if there are any existing ImDisk virtual disks that need to be dismounted first. Otherwise, it goes on with stopping services and unloading drivers so that uninstall could finish without any need for reboot.
  • All exe, sys, dll, cpl and similar files are now signed with trusted certificate. Previously, only kernel level modules have been signed.
  • Correction to shared memory proxy client in ImDisk driver. This component now correctly split I/O requests that are too large for the supplied shared memory buffer.
  • Decimal numbers are now allowed in disk size / extend size fields in Control Panel applet.

Release 1.7.5 of ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver.

  • Added same device change notifications for 32 bit as for 64 bit version. Tested on Windows NT 3.51 up to Windows 8 and it seems to work as correctly as it possibly can now.

This package has no dependencies.
