Index was outside the bounds of the array

Haven't looked into this yet, just generated it, and walked away, I will do some digging

[RichiCoder1]

That's vague enough that I couldn't be much help without a debugger.

[gep13]

Agreed. I will do some debugging at lunch time and see if I can trace what is going on. It could be environmental as well. Will let you know what I turn up.

[RichiCoder1]

If I had to guess, it's probably going to be in GetInstalledPackages in ChocolateyService. Bug me if you need anything.

[RichiCoder1]

This exact issue is making me doubt the wisdom of sticking with .Net 4.0. The async stack traces are gibberish and the only way to fix it is to make the code less readable.

[gep13]

What are you thinking? Upping to use 4.5.1/4.5.2?

[ferventcoder]

Only issue I have there is it moves it out of 2003, but there is less than a year left of support for it. Choco CLI supports it, perhaps that becomes the only way you can use choco on 2003. Thoughts?

[gep13]

Oh, I didn't realise that you can't put .Net 4,5 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. Hmm....

[RichiCoder1]

I would be targeting 4.5.0, unless there's a good reason to explictly target a higer 4.5.x. I would argue that the merits of moving to 4.5 outweigh the drawbacks of losing support for 2003 and XP. Technically, having CLI as the primary, if only, way to use Choco on a server distribution is not all that bad all things considered. It is a server environment after all.

[gep13]

I think I am of the same opinion. If people want it, they can always use an earlier version of ChocolateyGUI, leaving us free to roll with the latest and greatest version.

[gep13]

From what I can see, targetting 4.5.0 has been implemented, and I am not able to reproduce this error message again, so happy to close this issue for now.
