It looks like one of the paths in your PATH environment variable uses a drive letter that doesn't exist (ie. 'O:\Path\On\NonExistant\Drive'), which is causing Join-Path to fail.

You should be able to successfully install/update the choco package by checking your path for instances of "O:\Something" and then removing those instances, restarting your powershell session, and try installing/updating the package again.

It looks like replacing instances of "Join-Path $path1 $path2" with "[IO.Path]::Combine($path1, $path2)" will combine the paths in the same way without throwing errors on non-existant drives/paths. I'll update my branch of this repo with this change and also update the package on Chocolatey shortly.

Ok, the Chocolatey package is updated at Chocolatey.org and this change has been made in my branch and the pull request to this repo includes the change ( see commit abe8536 at #53 ).

This is network drive that (as usual) is not available for elevated processes.
Even moving this path to user-level PATH variable will not help.

Good - it's fixed.
