Parsing "-version" results in a warning message (instead of "--version")

[pascalberger]

What You Are Seeing?

I'm installing a Chocolatey package from a private feed, versioned accordingly to SemVer:

choco install mypackage -Version 1.16.0-unstable0017 -Source http://myFeed

While installing works fine, 'choco.exe' outputs this message:

Parsing -Version resulted in exception:
 Cannot bundle unregistered option '-e'.

What is Expected?

'choco.exe' should not output a message since the version is a valid version according to SemVer.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

• Create a package with the above version number
• Install it

use --version instead of -version. It's complaining about the "e" in the word v**_e**_rsion because it thinks it is a bundled option. Like -dvyf means --debug --verbose --confirm --force

OK. Thanks @ferventcoder. Feel free to close this issue if this is by design and the expected behavior.

It's something we should keep open. It does present an issue, even if it is just a warning that it is providing.

use --version instead of -version.

http://chocolatey.github.io/usage.html -version ?
