0.97.1

### Installation method

Chocolatey

### Area(s) with issue?

Installer

### Steps to reproduce

Try to install version 0.97.1 using chocolatey

The problem is with incorrect link ti the installer in the Chocolatey setup.

The link in the setup:
"https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/0.97.1/PowerToysSetup-0.97.1-x64.exe"

Should be
"https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/v0.97.1/PowerToysSetup-0.97.1-x64.exe"

Nice missing "v" in "v0.97.1"
