Thanks for the info and log. I wonder if it's related to the restart detection that I added recently? I'll do some testing to see if I can reproduce the problem.

I have found something similar in this issue: dtgm/chocolatey-packages#167 . Hope this can help you

[flcdrg]

Also realised I need to update the packageSourceUrl to point to the new Git repository!

@jaganz if you run the PowerShell script mentioned in that related issue, what output do you get?

The workaround seems to be

As you may have noticed, this bug affects many packages on chocolatey.org and most all install packages I maintain. This will be slowly snuffed out as old packages get updated. For now, the workaround is to remove the offending application, or, if you need the offending software installed, fix the bad registry key.

i'll try and give u feedback

[flcdrg]

Sounds good. Looks like that key is related to Netbeans (according to Google)

[jaganz]

Afeter deleted the bad registry entry (attached, I think that are the parameters for netbeans uninstaller) everythings works fine. thanks!
