Chocolately appears to be using exactly the same builds that are on the FreeCAD github releases page. Some people find Chocolately useful for various reasons, but it is plain dirt simple to download from the Releases page, extract with 7-zip, and run. No extra anything needed.

Looking at the github releases page the last 0.19 one appears to be quite old - the last one listed is 3 Nov 2019
* https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tags
Looking at Chocolately this seems to be a much more recent version if you use the --pre flag
* https://chocolatey.org/packages/freecad#versionhistory
The last one here appears to be September 13, 2020, with a load of others all listed as within 2020 instead of 2019
but these are dev versions.
This is why I suggested using Chocolately over the github releases page

It may be more or less unstable, but is probably more recent.
