It looks like the GNU Radio install from chocolatey uses the binaries
published by the GNU Radio project [1].

You will need to build the HackRF library and tools on your Windows
system.  You will need libusb [2] and cmake [3], both of which are
available for Windows, and a compiler such as MinGW.  Instructions for
building HackRF with MinGW are available [4], or for MSVC[5] which
should help with building the HackRF and osmocom tools[6].
