After looking at the scripts and such, No App Genie is not upgrading Chocolatey.

This how ever can be added as a single line to the "P4A - App Genie Maintenance" Script

In the else section of script line 64 you can add a new line that is a duplicate of line 77.

Replacing command parameter @REPONAME@ with Chocolatey.

The reason you place at line 64 is you only need it to run once, just before looping through all the packages it may need to check for updates.


This will cause it to upgrade chocolatey prior to any other upgrades.
