  • I have verified no other issues exist related to my problem.
  • I have verified this is not an issue for a specific package.
  • I have verified this issue is not security related.

What You Are Seeing?

While troubleshooting another issue, we noticed that after deleting the Config folder from C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey GUI and the data.db file from C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Chocolatey GUI that the data.db file was recreated in the Users directory, but the Config folder was not recreated in the ProgramData directory upon trying to start Chocolatey GUI.

Without the Config folder present, Chocolatey GUI will not start.

What is Expected?

If the Config folder is not present, Chocolatey GUI should recreate it upon startup.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

  1. Deleted the Config folder from C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey GUI and the data.db file from C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Chocolatey GUI.
  2. Tried to launch Chocolatey GUI from the Start menu and from the CLI and it would not start.
  3. Witnessed the data.db file being recreated in the User directory, and noticed that the Config folder was not recreated in the ProgramData directory.

(chocolatey#996) Create config directory if it doesn't exist
a8685e4 
If the directory for a LiteDatabase doesn't exist, LiteDatabase will not
attempt to create it, and will throw an exception because it can't
create the file without the parent directory. This ensures that the
folder exists before trying to create the database.
