Hi everyone.  
I’m trying to install the iisexpress server on travis.  
Here’s my `.travis.yml` -

```auto
os: windows

language: node_js

node_js:
- '10'

install:
  - choco install iisexpress
  
script:
  - iisexpress 

```

I do see that iisexpress is successfully installed in travis logs -

```auto
51.42s$ choco install iisexpress
Chocolatey v0.10.11

Installing iisexpress...
iisexpress has been installed.
  iisexpress may be able to be automatically uninstalled.
 The install of iisexpress was successful.
  Software installed as 'msi', install location is likely default.
Chocolatey installed 2/2 packages. 
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

```

But when I run the `iisexpress` command, I get `iisexpress command not found` error.

- I have tried using `iisexpress.exe` command. But that doesn’t work either. (Windows n00b alert)
- When I install a package using choco, I see that it’s not added to PATH. Is this correct?
- If so, where is the default install location for choco packages?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Chocolatey updates the system `PATH` in the Registry, but it doesn’t get applied in any running applications. To reload it from the Registry you’ll need to use [`RefreshEnv.cmd`](https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/blob/master/src/chocolatey.resources/redirects/RefreshEnv.cmd) (for a `cmd.exe` session) or `RefreshEnv.ps1` (for a PowerShell session).

So, keeping in mind that your `.travis.yml` commands run inside a Git Bash shell, instead of `iisexpress.exe` you’ll need to run:

```
cmd.exe //c "RefreshEnv.cmd & iisexpress.exe"
```
