From e-mail:

I noticed on the chocolately mailing list that there was a suggestion to add a bash version of cinst.bat. Is this kind of like what you are looking for? I spent a little time looking into making Install-ChocolateyZipFile install the exes too and couldn't figure out how to do it. If the only reason you want this is so you can use emacs from bash, then I guess we could just add an emacs sh script for that purpose.

A much simpler, faster option would be to add an alias in your .bashrc:

alias emacs='$SYSTEMROOT/System32/cmd.exe /c "emacs *$"'

...but I can understand the desire to make this part of the package.

I tried to install Emacs with the OneGet installer from Windows Management Framework 5.0 preview. It is a package tool/frontend that uses the chocolatey repository.

Find-Package Emacs | Install-Package

The error message:

Install-Package : CmdletInvocationException:The term '\lib\Emacs.24.3\tools\emacs-24.3\bin\addpm.exe' is not recognized
 as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Apparently this comes from https://github.com/cbilson/EmacsChocolateyPackage/blob/master/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1#L3. Do you know what could be the cause of this?
