Description

Brief description of your issue

I've been trying to install these two apps from AOMEI through winget, and I'm getting the error "installer hash does not match" for both AOMEI backupper standard, and AOMEI partition assistant. I've tried this on my windows 10, and windows 11 machines. Not sure what this means, or how to fix. I was encouraged to raise the issue here though.

Steps to reproduce

winget install --id=AOMEI.PartitionAssistant -e

winget install --id=AOMEI.Backupper.Standard -e

Expected behavior

The app should download and install.

Actual behavior

PS C:\Users\USER> winget install --id=AOMEI.Backupper.Standard -e
Found AOMEI Backupper [AOMEI.Backupper.Standard] Version 7.3.2.0

Research direction

Start by rerunning the two provided winget install commands and comparing the downloaded AOMEI Backupper 7.3.2.0 and Partition Assistant 10.0.0 installers from the listed URLs with the package metadata. Check whether the upstream installers changed and determine the corresponding package entries that need investigation. Done means both current downloads pass installer hash validation and install successfully.
