using --allow-downgrade with Params seems not to work.

With this configuration

cChocoPackageInstaller libreOffice
{
Name = "libreoffice"
Version = "4.4.3"
Params = "--allow-downgrade"
DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]installChoco"
}

I still got the error as --allow-downgrade was not specified.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Params are the package params passed to choco, that get passed on to the package itself. It appears you need additional arguments passed to choco itself, which is a new field that I don't believe exists here yet.

See https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/cChoco/blob/master/DSCResources/cChocoPackageInstall/cChocoPackageInstall.psm1#L153

Side note: https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/cChoco/blob/master/DSCResources/cChocoPackageInstall/cChocoPackageInstall.psm1#L153 and surrounding code look like they could use some refactoring.

Thanks for the clarification, I think that should not be a bit problem to fork and modify the package to add such a functionality.

This has been fixed in #53

      cChocoPackageInstaller installSkypeWithChocoParams
      {
        Name                 = 'skype'
        chocoParams          = '--allowdowngrade'
        Ensure               = 'Present'
      }
