Dear all,

I'm trying to install ROS packages on Windows with choco with the command:

choco install ros-noetic-xxx-package

I'm always getting the error:

ros-noetic-xxx-package not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.
Source(s): 'https://aka.ms/ros/public;https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/'
NOTE: When you specify explicit sources, it overrides default sources.
If the package version is a prerelease and you didn't specify `--pre`, the package may not be found.
Please see https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/troubleshooting for more assistance.

Chocolatey installed 0/1 packages. 1 packages failed.
See the log for details (c:\opt\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

Failures - ros-noetic-xxx-package - ros-noetic-xxx-package not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed. Source(s): 'https://aka.ms/ros/public;https://com...' NOTE: When you specify explicit sources, it overrides default sources. If the package version is a prerelease and you didn't specify --pre, the package may not be found. Please see https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/tro... for more assistance.

The error happens with several ROS packages, in my case ros-controllers. Is it possible to update choco source list?

Thank you. Regards,

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem while building ros from scratch

No, unfortunately, I have never been able to solve the problem.
