Revision history [back]
I'm using Chocolatey version 0.10.15 to install/uninstall Wireshark.
Chocolatey's later versions will take a snapshot of the registry where add/remove programs gets its information from. When uninstalling Wireshark it will use some logic to work out that Visual C++ x64 wasn't there before, so Chocolatey will uninstall Visual C++ as Wireshark installed it in the first place.
Chocolatey have a couple of methods to prevent this if you so wish:
- pass --skipautouninstaller to the choco uninstall command
- Add .skipAutoUninstaller file to your package.
