Seen this on Server 2012 R2 Standard also. Can reproduce if any further information would help. (edit: google group link above works now I've signed up to the group, thanks Rob) |

When attempting to expand or work with `HKCU:\Environment`, that can error due to not having an existing `Environment` key in HKCU. This can occur in certain Windows Server versions, such as Server Core which doesn't have the key. This can also happen in other situations as well. - In `Get-EnvironmentVariableNames`, when expanding from `HKCU:\Environment` and it fails, silently continue. - When attempting to remove variables at User scope for Get-ToolsLocation, fail those silently. - If you can't set the Get-ToolsLocation value for User scope, attempt Machine scope instead. - With `Install-ChocolateyEnvironmentVariable`, if the attempt to set to User scope fails and the user is an administrator, attempt to set it with Machine scope. Otherwise fail. - In `Get-EnvironmentVariable`, if the registry key is null, do not attempt to grab a value or close it.

Trying to install Chocolatey from the install script located here - https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1, and when run it looks like it is erroring out when trying to read and expand properties from the registry key 'HKCU:\Environment'.
This is possibly because I am doing this on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Core install and it does not have the registry key 'HKCU:\Environment'.
