cinst works when "choco install" fails (repeatable)

I have a VM installed with trial ISO of Windows 8.1 (download link). choco install ConEmu always fails with , "An exception occurred during a WebClient request" whereas cinst ConEmu works. There are five upvotes on a comment of someone who also had this issue.
We all thought cinst was just an alias for "choco install", but apparently there's a breaking difference. I like to use "choco install" in scripts because it's more readable. And it really should work the same as cinst.
Hah. Never mind. Please close this issue. The problem/solution proposed in the comment thread were a red herring. It fails the first install, but works on the second install (in a row) regardless of which Chocolatey installation alias is used 😝 This makes me think the bug is in the package.
Awesome. Yeah that would have been interesting for it to be an issue.
