Captured error:
The file is too long. This operation is currently limited to supporting files less than 2 gigabytes in size.
### Additional Context
_No response_
checksum.exe can hash files that are larger than 2gb, see https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues
The warning about Error computing hash for is from the file hashing built into Chocolatey CLI itself: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/747
I have a PR open to fix it: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/pull/2714
The hashing taking way longer than alternative hashing methods would be an issue (although it probably would need to be benchmarked), which could be related tochecksum.exe (or some aspect of how it is called).
Might be worth looking at the Get-FileHash source at https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/src/Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility/commands/utility/GetHash.cs to see if there's tweaks you can adopt here.
