A silent installer for Chocolately (https://chocolatey.org), which in turn does silent Windows software installs.
This downloads the install.ps1 script, which will download and install chocolatey to %programdata%\chocolatey.
Once this is installed, you can use commands like "choco install 7zip -y" to install software automatically. This can be useful to save having to update WPKG packages for common tools, as chocolatey has a central repository.
