While trying to install Meteor 1.6 it returns this error. This has happened twice when I ran the same command choco install meteor , what am I to do right?

The download to above link provided by you in the post works correctly.
Need advice. Appreciate it
Did you let finish the downloading of the whole file?
It seems -like @robfallows says- a connection issue…

Disable windows defender for the install
99% of Windows issues with Meteor are caused by anti-virus slowing down file operations, as there are A LOT of files involved in node apps.
I’ve added exclusions to Windows Defender for
- node.exe
- 7z.exe
- choco.exe
- and the meteor folder at C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local.meteor\
This speeds up installs, updates, and builds by about 500%

@coagmano , I disabled my windows defender, I tried with both windows 7 and 10. I tried with both cmd and powershell but still I can’t installed it throw chocolatey. I even tried it in another place on another PC but no luck. Can it be because of Sanctions against Iran? If so, what do you suggest?

Installing Meteor is such a nightmare that it’s almost a no-go for new Meteor users on Windows. Then the build/rebuild times (and forget about updating a Meteor project) are SO SLOW - on NVMe. It’s better with Defender turned off, but honestly, it could still be faster… The problem is, end users are not going to blame Windows Defender or some node.js problem, they are going to blame Meteor.
There’s also the interesting challenge of making meteor only recompile the front end when working on React components, instead of rebuilding everything. That could yield quite a perceived performance boost.
Of course it’s a nightmare I have worked with meteor a year ago in that time it has installer but now with choco I’m not enable to install it. I disabled the Windows Defender but not helping at all.
