Consider passing the actual checksums through with --checksum --checksum64 once you validate the checksums are appropriate. A less secure option is to pass --ignore-checksums if necessary.

Notes
https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome says
This package always installs the latest version of Google Chrome, regardless of the version specified in the package. Google does not officially offer older versions of Chrome for download. Because of this you may get checksum mismatch between the time Google releases a new installer, and the package is automatically updated.
Chrome for Testing: reliable downloads for browser automation announced Chrome for Testing on June 12, 2023
CircleCI > browser-tools-orb does not list Windows as a supported environment for install-chrome
install-chrome
Install Google's Chrome browser, for use in browser testing. Note: only the latest stable release can be installed, as Google does not maintain a public archive of previous releases. Supports Debian/Ubuntu Linux, Alpine Linux (via Chromium), and macOS environments.
Suggestion
Install with --ignore-checksums.
Look for better alternatives to chocolatey installation.
The current checksum issue is due to the pending version https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome/115.0.5790.102
So now a short time later, https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome/115.0.5790.102 is approved and the Chrome installation of the new version works correctly.
- This issue has been resolved through PR #735 which implemented the suggestion from this issue, using
--ignore-checksums
