title: Fix Chocolatey "Access is Denied"
body: <p>I just installed Chocolatey for the first time using <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fw9WX.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> command in an admin cmd:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>@&quot;%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe&quot;
  -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command &quot;iex ((New-Object
  System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))&quot;
  &amp;&amp; SET &quot;PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin&quot;</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p><strong>Admin cmd output:</strong></p>
  <pre><code>Getting latest version of the Chocolatey package for download.
  Getting Chocolatey from https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/chocolatey/0.10.13.

  WARNING: It's very likely you will need to close and reopen your shell
    before you can use choco.
  Restricting write permissions to Administrators
  We are setting up the Chocolatey package repository.
  The packages themselves go to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib'
    (i.e. C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\yourPackageName).
  A shim file for the command line goes to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin'
    and points to an executable in 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\yourPackageName'.
  
  Creating Chocolatey folders if they do not already exist.
  
  WARNING: You can safely ignore errors related to missing log files when
    upgrading from a version of Chocolatey less than 0.9.9.
    'Batch file could not be found' is also safe to ignore.
    'The system cannot find the file specified' - also safe.
  WARNING: Not setting tab completion: Profile file does not exist at
  'C:\Users\CurrentUser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1'.
  WARNING: Unable to run Chocolately at this time.  It is likely that .Net Framework installation requires a system reboot
  Chocolatey (choco.exe) is now ready.
  You can call choco from anywhere, command line or powershell by typing choco.
  Run choco /? for a list of functions.
  You may need to shut down and restart powershell and/or consoles
   first prior to using choco.
  Ensuring chocolatey commands are on the path
  Ensuring chocolatey.nupkg is in the lib folder

  <p>There does not seem to be documentation on why this happens. How can this be fixed?</p>
