# The pstools Chocolatey package is unreliable: it downloads PSTools.zip from
# Microsoft at install time, and its pinned checksum breaks whenever Microsoft
# updates the zip. Download it directly and verify against our own checksum
# instead; bump the hash deliberately when Microsoft publishes a new PSTools.
