What's the problem?

Hello,

we are currently setting up a couple of Windows 10 (Pro 22H2) vm's with flare-vm install script.
Duo to an unfortunate issue from our side, we did execute the script on several hosts on the same time which lead to us getting temporarily rate-limited/blocked by chocolatey which lead to a couple of hosts finishing the script with a lot of missing packages.
So far, we were able to solve this issue on our own by carefully re-running the script one host after another. By doing this, the script successfully reinstalls all except 2 missing packages so far. The problematic packages currently are:

• regcool.vm
  There seems to be a problem with the hardcoded package checksum which can easily be solved by manually installing the package with the flag --ignore-checksums
• chrome.extension.vm

We do however seem not to be able to solve the issue with the last package. Even manually trying to install chrome.extension.vm always seems to fail. Looking at the chocolatey.log only shows the message 'throw "Chrome is unable to load the extensions"'.

What we tried to fix the issue so far:

1. Uninstalled cyberchef and google chrome via choco
2. Removed leftover files from google chrome from the system (%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\ & %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome)
3. Cleared cache of chocolatey
4. Reboot
5. Restartet the install script

This did however not fix our issue as the package still throws the same error when trying to install it. Do you have any tips how we could solve this issue?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the script on several hosst on the same time while beeing behind NAT
2. Get rate-limited
3. Packages fail to install
