Choco install directx fails

Environments Windows
1

Hi,

Installing directx usiing chocolatey currently fails in the Windows envionment. I tried on my win 10 machine, and it is working which would seem to indicate that it’s not a problem with chocolatey or the directx package itself. You can find the output of the install below (excerpt from https://travis-ci.org/meuter/ray/jobs/447108933).

Any help much appreciated! :slight_smile:

$ choco install -y directx

For me, choco install python3 in before_install hangs and fails.

What does the log say? https://travis-ci.org/meuter/ray/jobs/447108933#L53 (You’ll have to explicitly dump the content, for example, in after_failure.

I explicitely dumped the logs of chocolatey as you said (https://travis-ci.org/meuter/ray/builds/447396332) but I could not find the root cause from the logs or any ways to fix it. Maybe someone else will spot something that I missed.
