cChocoInstaller Use SSLv3 only for Powershell 5 or lower
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Powershell 6 deprecates and removes SSLv3 from the list of supported
SecurityProtocolTypes. This resultes in the resource throwing an error
on versions 6 or higher.

Resolve the issue by only requesting Ssl3 on versions lower than 6 where
it is still supported.

Fixes: #182
Relates to: #173

# Since cChoco requires at least PowerShell 4.0, we have .NET 4.5 available, so we can use [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType] enum values by name.
