adding parameters for choco packages causes error about windows-dev-box-setup-scripts HOT 3 OPEN

@ASafwatAli can you provide the log for what you are seeing?

Nothing should have changed from a Chocolatey stand point with regard to the options that you can pass to the install command.

from windows-dev-box-setup-scripts.

Sure I’ll add the logs shortly. I can submit a PR with the fixes that worked for me.

from windows-dev-box-setup-scripts.

@gep13 I've extracted some of the logs, but they're pretty big and contain personal information.
This is the log for choco install -y git --package-parameters="'/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /WindowsTerminal'". Again Those errors disappeared as soon as I fixed the command parameters as mentioned.

I've also created a one click link with the mentioned 4 commands to test it out
