Batch Win Installer v1.0 released!

From a defined list of software, Batch Win Installer will automatically install software on 64 bit #windows 10/11 x64 machine without prompts ; check what software is installed and offer to install and/or upgrade software ; scan program's websites to determine the latest version of the software available

Key changes :

* added checksums to configuration files. Installers are verified before the main menu is shown. The executables for wget and xidel are also verified each time Batch-Win-Installer is run.

* added preliminary support for #Windows11 for ARM processors. Installers are stored in either a ARM64 sub-folder or AMD64 sub-folder in the files folder. Yet to be tested formally on Windows 11 ARM though.

It’s a #batch file that uses two CLI tools, Wget and Xidel

It’s so unsettling watching our 250 year-old democracy decay into dictatorship while the most disruptive technology since steam power is evolving at superhuman speed. It’s like watching a locomotive barrel headlong into a tornado. I have a bad feeling about this.
