    Microsoft doesn't provide a centralized location with hash values for all their downloads. However there are a few ways to find the hash value and algorithm for a specific Microsoft download

    Download Verification Pages :- Sometimes, specific download pages for Microsoft software, like SSMS or Visual Studio, will include a verification section. This section might mention the hash algorithm (often SHA-1) and a corresponding hash value for the downloadable file.

    Hi @Lazarus Wright ,

    Thank you for reaching out and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

    There's no official Microsoft article that provides the hash value you are looking for.

    Do you consider if your package is genuine or not? Maybe this official link can help you well.

    In addition to get hash algorithm intuitively through the Download Verification Pages, please refer this link and you will know how to get hash value by using a specified hash algorithm.

    Feel free to share your issue here if you have any confusions.

    Best regards,

    Lucy Chen
