App Genie not updating apps

Post by Markedin »

Hi Support
I've noticed it seems apps are not updating from App Genie. As an example On my own computer I have an outdated version of 7zip. Attached is a screenshot of today script run it finds that 7zip is there but doesn't update it. I've noticed similar for firefox and citrix workspace. Appreciate any suggestions.

Yeap, something is a miss.

The log line that says "Command returned [7zip]current version is [OK].

That should actually be a version number, the fact its a OK tells me that the CMD may have failed with no return to which Automate appends an "OK" as the return.

Can you do a choco.exe -V and post your chocolatey version. I will go see if the language has changed.

While you check `choco.exe -V`, it may also help to run `choco upgrade 7zip -y` manually on the affected machine. If that upgrades normally, the issue is likely in how App Genie invokes Chocolatey or parses its output, not Chocolatey’s package detection. Also confirm whether the script uses `choco outdated` and whether it expects the version on a specific line; a wrapper appending `OK` when stdout is empty would explain the log.
