This package will install the identified, "Long Term Release" version of QGIS intended for stability. If you want to install a version more rich with features but potentially less stable, try the package for the latest release of QGIS. These packages can now co-exist!

Keeping old releases

Upon installation/upgrade, this package will attempt to remove the newest version of QGIS less than or equal to this package version. (It will no longer remove non-"LTR" versions.) If you would like to skip the uninstallation of any older versions, use the a "Keep" package parameter as follows:

choco install qgis-ltr -params '"/Keep"'

This parameter will be ignored if the newest version has the same major.minor value as this package because the QGIS installer won't allow two different builds of the same major.minor release. (I.E. Version 2.18.14 has the same "2.18" as version 2.18.20.) This parameter would allow you to keep a v2.14.x install of QGIS when installing a v2.18.x package.

Uninstallation should remove only the installed, Chocolatey package version.
