[iTzSnicholls89]

### Please confirm these before moving forward

I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.

I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client. ### Category of the issue Installer hash mismatch.

Brief description of your issue

The installation of Google.Chrome fails due to an installer hash mismatch. This error occurs while running the installation via WinGet.

Actual behavior

The current version of Google Chrome in the WinGet repo is 130.0.6723.59. You may need to update your source cache through winget source update.

Tried this but still issue exists

That's weird. It works normally on my end:

It might be a CDN issue from the WinGet source server.

I had this issue today. I was able to work around it by bypassing the check.

PS C:\Users\jaraco> sudo winget settings --enable InstallerHashOverride
Enabled admin setting 'InstallerHashOverride'.
PS C:\Users\jaraco> winget install Google.Chrome --ignore-security-hash

Of course, that workaround isn't available when installing as admin.

It sounds like this error is a common problem for packages that updated themselves frequently (such as Google Chrome). Perhaps there's a better solution that doesn't leave these packages often broken.

Same problem for me…

[jaraco]

It might be a CDN issue from the WinGet source server.

In my first experience, I was on a corporate machine with VPNs and other administrative controls. To exclude those as a possibility, I tested on another machine, a mostly clean Windows 11 VM with a regular IP connection (no VPNs, proxies, etc), and the issue replicated, so the issue seems to be that the hashes in winget have fallen behind the contents of the installer.

The Chrome package in the WinGet repo has been updated to 132.0.6834.111, but the pipeline for generating the index is having some issues: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/216213
