title: Batch file / powershell: downloading and silent installing script
body: <p>I am trying to write a script that will, ideally, download the .exe/.msi files for different programs, and run them silently. These installations do usually require input, like clicking next, or check a radio button. If I know what installation settings I want to run, how can I get these installations to run them in the way I want, but silently? Will the coding be simplier to do using batch programming or using Powershell? (I am a complete beginner to both, so no preference. Suggestions would be much appreciated). The script would ideally then be packaged up into it's own .exe file to run on any windows computer.</p>
