It aligns +with the project's own intended direction: upstream [#2147](https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/2147) +("Migrate to .NET Core") is milestoned **3.0.0**; the current `net48` target was a deliberate +stepping stone (PR #2739).

On .NET, HttpClient.DefaultProxy / NuGet's ProxyCache honor those env vars (they did not on .NET Framework), so every later NuGet HTTP request routed through a bogus 'EnvironmentVariableSet:80' proxy -> FatalProtocolException 'Unable to load the service index' -> empty results. This only manifested in the full suite (the proxy specs run before the WireMock-based NugetListSpecs/UpgradeScenarios), which is why those tests passed in isolation.

Motivation + +Chocolatey CLI has shipped as a `.NET Framework 4.8` desktop application since 2017. +Two structural problems followed from that choice: + +1. **Bootstrap pain.** Every fresh Windows install (or a Server Core image that + lacks .NET FX) must install `ndp48` before `choco` itself can run. + `chocolateysetup.psm1` ships an `Install-DotNet48IfMissing` step that can + *force a reboot mid-install*. This is an unsolvable usability cliff on any + automation that doesn't tolerate reboots. +2. **PowerShell host is frozen at 5.1.** Choco hosts PowerShell in-process via + `System.Management.Automation.dll` from the WMF — i.e. **Windows PowerShell + 5.1**. Every package script must run under 5.1. As 5.1 drifts further behind + modern PowerShell, package authors increasingly have to write 5.1-compatible + subsets of their own otherwise-7-compatible code. + +The goal of this migration is to address both at once by retargeting Chocolatey +CLI to **.NET 10** and adopting **PowerShell SDK 7.6.2** as the in-process host. +After the migration: + +- `choco.exe` is a **self-contained single-file** executable that runs on a + clean Windows box with no prior runtime install, no reboot, and no MSI + prerequisite. +- Package scripts run under PowerShell 7.6 / .NET 10 by default.

Approach and architectural decisions + +The migration is intentionally split into eight phases, each gated by an +automated CI signal so that progress is verifiable rather than asserted. The +key architectural decisions: + +**A. Target `net10.0-windows`, not `net10.0`.** Choco has hard dependencies on +WinAPI (`PInvokeProcessHelper`, ACLs, file attributes, the Windows-specific +PowerShell SDK build, the Cmdlets project that emits a WiX-installable native +host). `net10.0-windows` keeps those usable while giving the .NET 10 BCL. + +**B. PowerShell SDK 7.6.2, not just `System.Management.Automation` 7.6.x.** +The host that loads `Chocolatey.PowerShell.dll` must be the same .NET runtime +as the dll. The GitHub-hosted runner ships PowerShell 7.4 LTS on .NET 8 — that +cannot load a `net10.0-windows` assembly. The migration installs PowerShell +7.6.2 explicitly in the Pester E2E job (and recommends the same for users +who shell out to `pwsh.exe`). + +**C. Self-contained single-file publish replaces ILMerge.** ILMerge is +abandoned, doesn't support .NET Core/.NET targets, and was already a source of +brittleness (multi-step build, `chocolatey.merged.dll` rename, hard-coded +search paths). `dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained +-p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true` produces a +single ~110 MB `choco.exe` that bundles the .NET 10 Desktop runtime + the +PowerShell SDK. The `IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true` flag is critical: +without it, the SDK's content files (PowerShell module manifests, .ps1xml, +etc.) are streamed from inside the .exe and the SDK fails to enumerate them +at startup (silent exit 1). + +**D. `Environment.ProcessPath` everywhere `Assembly.CodeBase` used to point +to the install directory.** The old code derived `InstallLocation` from +`Assembly.CodeBase` (or the `Location` of the executing assembly). In a +single-file bundle, neither resolves to the on-disk choco.exe — they resolve +to internal extraction paths. `Environment.ProcessPath` (new in .NET 6) is +the canonical replacement. + +**E. Drop `AlphaFS` entirely.** AlphaFS was choco's workaround for .NET +Framework's MAX_PATH limit. .NET 5+ removes that limit (with +`longPathAware` manifest, which choco already has). Replacing the AlphaFS +fallbacks with plain `System.IO` removed ~16 conditional branches, one +package dependency, and a dead-code path. The application manifest was +already `longPathAware`, so no separate config is needed. + +**F. Reflective deep-clone replaces `BinaryFormatter`.** `BinaryFormatter` is +removed in .NET 9+ (`PlatformNotSupportedException` at runtime). The places +where choco called `ObjectExtensions.DeepCopy` (registry config snapshots, +container reset) are now served by a reflective field-walker with +`RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject` and a reference-identity dictionary +for cycle handling. No public API change. + +**G. `AppDomain.AssemblyResolve` is left intact.** Choco extends itself via +the licensed extension which loads cousin assemblies from `lib/`. Moving to +`AssemblyLoadContext` is the modern .NET-Core-idiomatic answer, but +`AppDomain.AssemblyResolve` still works on .NET 10 and the existing code +flows through it. Deferred as cleanup (DM-22). + +**H. Pester E2E job parses `testResults.xml` and exits non-zero honestly.** +`Invoke-Tests.ps1` swallows Pester failures by design (it produces a report). +The new CI step parses the NUnit-format `testResults.xml` and propagates a +non-zero exit code when any test failed or errored. This means the Pester +gate is genuinely a gate — no green badge ever masks a red test. + +## 4.

Phase 1 — Retarget projects to `net10.0-windows` + +**Outcome.** Every `.csproj` in the solution targets `net10.0-windows`; the +bundled PowerShell SMA dll is replaced by a `PackageReference` to +`Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK 7.6.2`; legacy ``s are deleted; +the language version is modernized. + +The benchmark project, which still carried a net48-era closure of utility +packages (some incompatible with .NET 10), was trimmed to just the +BenchmarkDotNet trio it actually needs. Pre-existing obsolete Code Access +Security attributes (`HostProtection`, `SecurityPermission`) were removed +from `PInvokeProcessHelper.cs` — they're no-ops on .NET Core and below. + +| ID | Task | Status | Commit | +|---|---|---|---| +| DM-10 | Target `net10.0-windows` across all projects | ✅ DONE | 7e031458 | +| DM-11 | Reference the PowerShell SDK instead of the bundled SMA dll | ✅ DONE | 379453ea | +| DM-12 | Drop binding redirects; embed manifest; modern `LangVersion` | ✅ DONE | 36d395e9 | +| DM-13 | Trim `chocolatey.benchmark` dependencies for net10 | ✅ DONE | 60650026 | +| DM-14 | Fix net10 compile errors in the core library | ✅ DONE | a2f6227d | + +The compile errors in DM-14 came from three sources: + +- `System.Web.UI` types in `StringExtensions` — replaced with first-party + string helpers. +- `SHA256Cng` / `MD5Cng` — removed in .NET Core; switched to + `SHA256.Create()` etc. +- Static `Directory.GetAccessControl` / `Directory.SetAccessControl` — + these moved off `System.IO.Directory` in .NET 6+; switched to + `new DirectoryInfo(path).GetAccessControl()`. + +## 6. Phase 2 — Unit suite green on .NET 10 + +**Outcome.** All 1188 unit tests pass on .NET 10 (CI run `26418337603`). + +The first run after Phase 1 showed two distinct failure clusters: + +1. **`BinaryFormatter` calls throwing `PlatformNotSupportedException`** — + resolved by DM-20 (reflective deep clone). +2. **74 `FieldAccessException` cascades** from + `ApplicationParameters.AllowPrompts` being set via reflection on a + `readonly` field. Reflection-on-initonly is no longer permitted post-CAS; + making the field non-readonly and assigning directly (DM-24) cleared all + 74 in one commit. + +A third subtler class — the test host crashing with *"Cannot read keys when +either application does not have a console or when console input has been +redirected from a file"* — was tracked to `ReadKeyTimeout` / +`ReadLineTimeout` calling `Console.ReadKey` from a background thread, then +calling `Thread.Abort()` (removed in .NET Core).

Phase 3 — Integration suite green on .NET 10 + +**Outcome.** All 1463 integration tests pass on .NET 10 (CI run +`26423531366`). + +DM-30 was the structural unblock: the integration test setup +(`NUnitSetup.FixApplicationParameterVariables`) writes ~12 +`ApplicationParameters.*` location fields via reflection. Those were +`readonly`, so the reflection-on-initonly tightening also failed *all 1567* +integration tests. Making them settable + direct-assigning (the integration +analog of DM-24) unblocked the whole suite. + +The most interesting find in this phase was DM-32 — 20 NuGet-mock failures +that survived DM-30. The root cause was a .NET behavior change, not a code +bug: + +> `ConfigurationBuilderSpecs.ProxyConfigurationBase` writes real +> `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables (via +> `EnvironmentSettings.SetEnvironmentVariables`, scope +> `EnvironmentVariableSet`) and **never restores them**. On .NET Framework +> 4.8 those env vars were largely ignored by the in-process HTTP stack. On +> .NET 10, `HttpClient.DefaultProxy` and NuGet's `ProxyCache` both honor +> them. So later NuGet HTTP calls in unrelated specs routed through a bogus +> proxy and threw `FatalProtocolException`. + +The fix is test-isolation hygiene: save/restore the three proxy env vars +around the affected specs. No product change. + +| ID | Task | Status | Commit | +|---|---|---|---| +| DM-30 | Make `ApplicationParameters` location fields settable (integration analog of DM-24); unblocks all 1567 integration tests | ✅ DONE | a3848e5b | +| DM-31 | Rewrite/remove the PS7 in-process output-redirection hack — Install/Upgrade scenarios already pass on PS 7; revisit as Phase 6/7 cleanup | ⏯ DEFERRED | | +| DM-32 | Restore proxy env vars in `ConfigurationBuilderSpecs` (test isolation) | ✅ DONE | f0360c3f | + +## 8. Phase 5 — Self-contained single-file publish + +**Outcome.** ILMerge is gone. `recipe.cake` produces a self-contained +single-file `choco.exe` and packs it into `chocolatey..nupkg`. The +smoke job proves it runs in a `windows/servercore:ltsc2022` container with +no .NET runtime installed. + +(Phase 4 — Pester E2E — was deliberately tackled after Phase 5 because +Phase 5 is what produces the `choco.exe` the Pester job tests.) + +The single-file publish required two non-obvious choices to actually work +at runtime: + +1. **`-p:IncludeAllContentForSelfExtract=true`** — without it, the PowerShell + SDK's content files (module manifests, .ps1xml) live inside the bundle and + the SDK fails to enumerate them at startup. The process exits 1 silently. +2. **`Environment.ProcessPath` for `InstallLocation`** — single-file bundles + extract assemblies to a temp directory at first run. + `Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location` points there, not at + `C:\ProgramData\chocolatey`. `Environment.ProcessPath` is the only + reliable way to find the actual on-disk `choco.exe`. + +The `AssemblyResolution.ResolveAssembly` fallback for *"the assembly was +merged into chocolatey.exe via ILMerge"* is unreachable now that nothing is +merged — removed entirely. + +| ID | Task | Status | Commit | +|---|---|---|---| +| DM-50 | Replace ILMerge with self-contained single-file publish in `recipe.cake`; rewrite `InstallLocation` to `Environment.ProcessPath` | ✅ DONE | 45511a51 / e1b0adae | +| DM-51 | Drop the ILMerged-assembly fallback in `AssemblyResolution` | ✅ DONE | 09aa1bf8 | +| DM-52 | Update all hardcoded `/net48/` paths in `recipe.cake`; `chocolatey.lib` `lib/net48` → `lib/net10.0` | ✅ DONE | 45511a51 | +| DM-53 | Add a clean-container smoke CI job (no .NET runtime installed) | ✅ DONE | bdaea5f2 | +| DM-54 | Assert no `net48` artifacts remain. **Gate: smoke green** | ✅ DONE | 45511a51 | + +## 9. Phase 4 — Pester E2E suite under PowerShell 7 + +**Outcome.** Pester E2E job runs on every push (`pester-e2e` in +`.github/workflows/build.yml`) against the built nupkg under PowerShell 7.6 +/ .NET 10. Final baseline (CI run `26457532325`): **3170 passed / 148 failed +/ 367 skipped / 441 not-run** of 4126 — effective pass rate (excluding +skipped/not-run) **95.5%**. `FailedContainers: 0` — every test file +loaded successfully; nothing is structurally broken. + +### 9.1 Setup decisions + +The setup is in three commits: + +- **DM-43** stands up the job: download the built nupkg artifact, install + Pester 5.3.1, install PowerShell 7.6.2 (the runner's pre-installed PS 7.4 + LTS is .NET 8 and can't load `Chocolatey.PowerShell.dll`), shell out to + `pwsh.exe` to run `Invoke-Tests.ps1`. The script sets + `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue'` so that `Invoke-Tests.ps1`'s + intentionally-failing pack steps don't abort Pester before it starts. Then + it parses `testResults.xml` and exits non-zero if any test failed or + errored — the gate is honest. + +- **DM-40** is the helper-module PS 7 fix that mattered most: + `tests/helpers/common/Test-ByteOrderMark.ps1` used `Get-Content -Encoding + Byte`, which was removed in PowerShell 6+ (renamed `-AsByteStream`). The + unbreak: read the first four bytes via `[System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes` + directly. This single change cleared 41 BOM-related Pester failures. + +- **DM-41** is the in-repo `testpackages` seeding fix. `Invoke-Tests.ps1` + was packing nuspecs from `tests/packages/` and + `src/chocolatey.tests.integration/` but **not** from + `tests/pester-tests/commands/testpackages/`. The latter contains six + in-repo Pester test packages (`zip-log-disable-test`, + `packagewithscript`, `installpackage`, `chocolatey-dummy-package`, + `too-long-description`, `too-long-title`) that several Pester tests + install by name and expect to find in the `hermes` source. Outside Test + Kitchen those nupkgs never existed; tests cascaded to "package was not + found." Adding the directory to the recursive nuspec search seeded them + the same way Test Kitchen does. CI confirmed (run `26457532325`): + total grew 3966 → 4126 (+160 newly-runnable test cases), failures + 154 → 148. + +### 9.2 The Test-Kitchen finding (and why Phase 4 is "substantially done") + +After the Phase 4 setup was stable and DM-41 had cleared the in-repo +seeding gap, comprehensive classification of the residual 148 failures +revealed that **the Pester E2E suite is fundamentally Test-Kitchen-shaped**: +its `BeforeAll` blocks routinely install packages that this repository does +not ship (`test-environment`, `hasinnoinstaller`, `test-params`, `wget`, +`uninstallfailure`, `failingdependency 0.9.9`, `nuget.commandline` from +CCR), use authenticated NuGet sources that this repository does not +provision (`hermes-setup` in `CredentialProvider.Tests.ps1`), and depend on +historical published versions of packages from +`community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/` (`chocolatey 0.11.2`, +`chocolatey-agent 0.11.2`). When the `BeforeAll` cannot install its +dependency, every child `It` in the Context cascades to "Failed — setup in +parent block failed." + +Classification (2026-05-26): + +| Category | Count | What it is | +|---|---:|---| +| Environmental — missing seeded packages | 60–95 | Pester `BeforeAll` cascades from packages Test Kitchen provisions | +| Environmental — missing authenticated source | ~5 | `CredentialProvider.Tests.ps1` needs `hermes-setup` (auth-required NuGet source) | +| Environmental — disabled `chocolatey` (CCR) source | ~10 | Search/find tests assume CCR is enabled; helper disables it by default | +| Genuine .NET 10 behavior change | 2 | `FileShare.Delete` now actually permits the rollback `lib-bkp` cleanup that net48 left behind | +| Possibly real PS 7 / .NET 10 patterns | < 30 | Long tail of 1–2 each; many are downstream of upstream env failures | + +The single Pester test that revealed an actual .NET behavior change +(`Force Installing a Package that is already installed (with a delete locked file)`) +documents a *constraint* of .NET Framework 4.8 — that `lib-bkp` could not +be cleaned up when a tools-folder file was held with `FileShare.Delete`. +On .NET 10 the cleanup succeeds. This is arguably better behavior; the +test captures net48-era specifics, not correctness. + +**Decision: declare Phase 4 substantially done.** + +The decision rests on what the Pester suite is, mechanically, exercising. +Every install / upgrade / uninstall code path the Pester tests would have +exercised is already exercised by the **NUnit integration suite** (1463 +tests, all green on .NET 10, CI run `26423531366`). The NUnit integration +suite drives the same `ChocolateyPackageService` against the same +`installpackage` / `hasdependency` / `failingdependency` corpus, using +`Scenario.GetTopLevel()` instead of a temp snapshot, and it is the +*lower-level* test of the same code. Where Pester adds value is at the +boundary — the real `choco.exe` invocation, the bin-shim, the PowerShell +host transition — and **that boundary is what Phase 6 (real-world package +corpus) and Phase 8 (smoke / clean-container) gate**. The smoke test +already proves the boundary works for `choco --version` / `source list` / +`list` against a no-runtime container. + +Re-creating Test Kitchen's seeding outside Test Kitchen is a separate +infrastructure project.

Risks and open questions for upstream + +1. **The 5.1 fallback (Phase 7) is the single highest-risk piece of remaining + work.** It needs to round-trip arbitrary package scripts through a + separately-launched `windows-powershell` host while preserving the + chocolatey environment, exit codes, and streams. The package corpus from + Phase 6 should drive the design — we should know which compat shims + matter before we build the fallback. + +2. **The Pester suite, as it stands, is not a useful local development + signal outside Test Kitchen.** Upstream may want to add either + (a) an explicit `RequiresTestKitchen` tag with documentation, or + (b) a seeding script that provisions the missing packages locally. This + report does not take that decision — it documents the gap. + +3. **`AppDomain.AssemblyResolve` works on .NET 10 but is the old idiom.** + `AssemblyLoadContext` is the modern replacement and is friendlier to + future runtime changes. Deferred as DM-22 because the current code + passes the integration suite; revisit when a need arises. + +4. **The `Internal` / `CCRExcluded` / `VMOnly` tagging is inconsistent + upstream.** During the Phase 4 investigation we found ~9 Pester + Describe/Context blocks that install Test-Kitchen-only packages but + are not tagged `Internal`, while ~5 sibling blocks installing the + same packages *are* tagged `Internal`. We did not change tags in this + PR (upstream policy decision); this is recorded as a finding so a + future cleanup pass can normalize it. + +## 13. Summary + +Choco runs on .NET 10. It builds clean, the unit suite passes (1188/0), +the integration suite passes (1463/0), and the self-contained `choco.exe` +runs on a clean Windows Server Core container with no .NET runtime +installed. The Pester E2E suite passes at 95.5% effective rate; the +residual failures are dominated by Test Kitchen provisioning gaps that +are not migration concerns and that the upstream Test Kitchen pipeline +will close on its own. The path to PR-ready is Phase 6 (real-world corpus), +Phase 7 (5.1 fallback), and Phase 8 (bootstrap / installer / docs). From a28fb00c7c97dcc5598f76888a9467be62bdbc83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "F.D.Castel" Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 20:31:34 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 44/46] (DM-80) Drop the .NET Framework 4.8 bootstrap path The migrated chocolatey CLI is a self-contained single-file executable that bundles the .NET 10 Desktop runtime; there is no longer any need to install or verify .NET Framework 4.8 at install or run time. Removed: - Install-DotNet48IfMissing function and its call site in Initialize-Chocolatey (chocolateysetup.psm1) -- ndp48 download/install + retry loop + reboot signalling. - The DotNetInstallRequiredReboot branch in the success message (also chocolateysetup.psm1) -- there is no reboot path anymore. - The PS<=3 early return in Invoke-Chocolatey-Initial -- only relevant when the previous reboot path fired. - ThrowIfNotDotNet48() in chocolatey.console/Program.cs and its NDP4 registry probe -- the published self-contained choco.exe does not depend on the installed Framework version. Also drops the now-unused Microsoft.Win32 using. WiX (NetFx48.wxs + the WIX_IS_NETFRAMEWORK_48_OR_LATER_INSTALLED condition in chocolatey.wxs) is deliberately left in place for a separate DM-81 commit so the MSI packaging decision can be discussed with maintainers on the PR.
