reflect-free has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

  • Package automation scripts make use of msiexec. The reviewer will ensure there is a valid reason the package has not used the built-in helpers. More...

reflect-free has failed automated testing.
This is not the only check that is performed so check the package page to ensure a 'Ready' status.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/fa46cc32407ac8ce93f5328bffc6dc81 for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

This package needs an exception from the verifier. The software does not install om windows server.

Pauby (reviewer) on 27 Nov 2019 16:04:47 +00:00:

Hi,

Your package fails to download the file correctly - did you test the package before submitting?

In your chocolateyInstall.ps1 you have $agentfilename parsing the $url variable. However there is no $url variable so FileFullPath on line 18 is actually just a folder name.

Can you fix and test the package before re-submitting?

Thanks.

TheCakeIsNaOH (maintainer) on 17 Dec 2019 01:56:17 +00:00:

Newer version submitted.
Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

Free backup, disk imaging and cloning solution for commercial and personal use.

Protect your data, upgrade your hard disk or try new operating systems in the safe knowledge that everything is securely saved in an easily recovered backup file. Macrium Reflect supports backup to local, network and USB drives.

Macrium Reflect 7 Free Edition is ready to download now and has a number of additional features not available in version 6. It is now licensed for both home and business use.

Important infomation

Macrium Reflect Free will not install on Windows Server.

The download of the installer is automated with AutoHotKey, it may still have bugs. Please let me know if you find any.
If you are internalizing this package, AutoHotKey is not needed as the installer has silent options available.

Thanks to Miodrag Milić for install scripts that is package is based on.

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

  • /DesktopIcon - Add a desktop shorcut

To pass parameters, use --params "''" (e.g. choco install packageID [other options] --params="'/ITEM:value /ITEM2:value2 /FLAG_BOOLEAN'").
To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
