[Error] zircolite.exe NOT found.

I recently received this error when using this awesome script ^^

The issue originates from here

$Download = ($Response.assets | Select-Object -ExpandProperty browser_download_url | Select-String -Pattern "zircolite_win_x64" | Out-String).Trim()

and trips up here

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Download -OutFile "$SCRIPT_DIR\Tools\$7Zip"

It appears the last time Zircolite published a browser_download_url was version 2.4.0

Nowadays, assets looks like this for the most recent release:

  },

One suggestion would be to switch to either Chainsaw (which can handle MFTs and EVTX) or Hayabusa (paired with Takajo for additional wins). I am happy to provide some working commands for either, if so desired.
