If I run this command: choco upgrade -y all, I get this errors: Unable to read registry snapshot file.

Delete the registry snapshot file. Look in c:\ProgramData\chocolatey\.chocolatey - one of the .registry files in there is corrupt. If you can, I'd like to know the contents of it (minus sensitive data if there is any) so we can see if it is something with the data itself or just a corrupted file.

We also added #337 - but that's likely why choco is still running.

Removing those files solved my problem thanks. But unfortunately none of these Files seems to be invalid. I've renamed all .registry files and uploaded it all, if you want to do some diagnostic:

I got this error too and found out that it originates from the following lines in one of my .registry files: <Publisher>Microsoft&#x0;P</Publisher>. IIRC &#x0; represents the NUL character, which is not allowed in XML.
After replacing <Publisher>Microsoft&#x0;P</Publisher> by <Publisher>Microsoft</Publisher>, everything works fine.

In 0.9.10, this will be handled to avoid these issues, but when a key has issues, it will tell you which key has the issue.

- Same some values coming from the registry as CData, in case they have
   values that are not legal in XML when serialized.
- Remove the null terminator in bad registry keys, if found.
- Report where failing key is located, when unable to read a snapshot
   file.
