Created shim doesn't open the most recent version of syncthing installed via chocolatey

[PyroDevil]

I used chocolaty to install syncthing and update it regularly as well.

Here is a log of the last update:

syncthing v1.11.1 [Approved]
syncthing package files upgrade completed. Performing other installation steps.
Extracting 64-bit C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\syncthing\tools\syncthing-windows-amd64-v1.11.1_x64.zip to C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\syncthing\tools...

Environment Vars (like PATH) have changed. Close/reopen your shell to

 The upgrade of syncthing was successful.
  Software installed to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\syncthing\tools'As you see here the 1.11.1 version of syncthing was installed, and ShimGen reported that it successfully created shims. However starting syncthing via the shim starts an old version:

PS C:\> & 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\syncthing.exe'
[monitor] 16:33:13 INFO: Log output saved to file "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Syncthing\syncthing.log"
[start] 16:33:13 INFO: syncthing v1.9.0 "Fermium Flea" (go1.15.1 windows-amd64) teamcity@build.syncthing.net 2020-08-28 05:48:25 UTC

I would have expected that the most current version is started.

The reason is probably that the syncthing chocolatey packages installs multiple versions and shingen uses lexical order for creating the shims:

PS C:\> ls C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\syncthing\tools\

IDK if this is a shimgen, a chocolatey or a syncthing packaging issue.
