This seems to be caused by Viber having been changed in Winget repositories, from Viber.Viber to Rakuten.Viber. When Winget fails to install a program, like in this instance, Chocolatey is used as the fallback, currently. Chocolatey has an old version, while currently Winget has the latest version. I will talk to the other Contributers and see how they want to handle this.
