Troubleshooting Errors with winget… | FileWave KB

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/01/14

Need to figure out what is the cause here for [Wayback/Archive] Troubleshooting Errors… | FileWave KB

General Errors

Hex Decimal Symbol Description
0x8A15003B -1978335173 APPINSTALLER_CLI_ERROR_RESTAPI_INTERNAL_ERROR Rest API internal error

I got the error following the install steps at [Wayback/Archive] Download and install Google Chrome with winget

winget install -e --id Google.Chrome

Usually I don’t install through winget because it is often slow and during upgrades often fails to be silent (causing all kinds of popup Windows to appear), but Chocolatey had a history of hashing problems when installing [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | Google Chrome 130.0.6723.92.

This package always installs the latest version of Google Chrome, regardless of the version specified in the package. Google does not officially offer older versions of Chrome for download. Because of this you may get checksum mismatch between the time Google releases a new installer, and the package is automatically updated.

Yup the page contains the above warning, but often this happens a week at a time: not something I want to spend on installing a web-browser.

Error

C:\bin>winget install --exact --id Google.Chrome
Failed when searching source: msstore
An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:

The following packages were found among the working sources.

Postscript

A few days later, I tried upgrading all packages with these steps:

  1. winget upgrade
  2. winget upgrade --all

Lo and behold: the final command suddenly installed the most recent Google Chrome administrative install.
