Since the error is occurring directly after the successful call to Install-ChocolateyShortcut, my guess is that the offending line in tools/chocolateyinstall.ps1 is:
Remove-Item -Force -ea 0 "$filePath32"
$filePath32 will evaluate to the empty string, because there's no 32-bit installer provided in the package anymore, because upstream seemed to have stopped providing a 32-bit installer starting with this release.
Thanks for the report, I've pushed a fixed version. If chocolatey doesn't reject it, should be available by tomorrow.
This was originally a comment to #67 but I expect it belonged here, sorry for the noise.

Looks like Chocolatey is waiting for you to ask for moderator approval? I'm not sure how notifications for the messages in the "comments list" scrolling div get sent out, but here's the detail:
wsltty has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning. Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 6 and 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
After logging it it seems that the installer showed 6 detections:
And annoyingly today VirusTotal shows 4. I'm not sure if there's a way to trigger a re-query of VirusTotal in some Chocolatey dashboard. But just so you're aware I did open an upstream issue and it seems like the only real answer is to sign the installers which was more scope than upstream was willing to accept.
That was all in service of:
If there a known reason that this software may have a high rate of false positives, please link to the upstream documentation (for example it could be an issue or wiki) in the package description. Then ask for an exemption and a moderator will review the documentation. If there is not a known and documented reason, please contact the software authors to see if they have any reasons they can document.
The reason is iexpress.exe generated installers are commonly used in pentesting and malware packagers so it's essentially been fingerprinted as universally bad, despite it's more humble beginnings.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful and prods the process along. Thanks for maintaining this in Chocolatey.
