The plugin now no longer works on x86

The plugin now no longer works on x86 and throws this exception:

`Chocolatey` upgraded 1/1 packages. 
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

It's broken for x64 as well. Seems the latest MinGW (13.1.0) has removed this file. I'm about to try

with:
  static: 0

which should tell the Action to no longer attempt to remove this file.

Even if this works, the Action should be fixed.

Also broken for me; tracking this thread.

I solved by using an old compiler version:

... We should do some experiments to understand which version is the latest working one

Version 12.2.0 works.

Version 13.1.0 was released on 17th of September and broke the builds:

No idea what changed in that release, because the MinGW team stopped tagging releases and updating the Changelog two major versions ago... (https://www.mingw-w64.org/changelog/)

In any case, pinning to 12.2.0 is a workaround for now.

The error is different though, no longer about pthreads.

Confirming 12.2.0 works for me, thanks @V0ldek

According to the maintainer of the Chocolatey listing for Mingw, the Chocolatey install method was changed for 13.1.0 due to a few reasons:

Unfortunately this involved a change in the location of the install directory, leading to the issue with libpthread being missing.
