No disrespect to the others who created this script. It was included with the WPKG install, but I edited it to make it more useful in a generic environment. This install 32-bit on both architectures as it is very useful when using both 64 and 32 bit browsers. The 32-bit install is the check type as well. I have tried to annotate as often as possible with comments so the next person using it can further customize it easily. I left a block at the end for misc settings. I like to put the code for turning off Auto-Update there so it runs every time to make sure it doesn't come back.
Note that I have left the uninstall in as a precursor to make sure the correct version is installed. This will allow for later versions to be installed, but this sets a baseline. Others have not used it due to it taking too long. I didn't notice any major delays in my running and editing of this script. Also, I have found that when upgrading to the latest version (43), the uninstall process will hang after the uninstall command for version 39. I'm not sure if this is because of a limit in a buffer or what. I fixed it by moving the initial start up to 15. I have edited the file below to show this change.
