I just thought to make this, and so I googled it. I stumbled upon this to see it has already been made!

Thanks for the script! @PowerShell is a beautiful thing.

@Wisedemic Glad that you found it helpful! I had to spin up a new VM this morning for a dev environment and used this again - still works! Generates a few warnings, but nothing blocking. There's a lot of other config that can be easily added to this with @PowerShell, depending on how you have your box setup.

Great stuff!
Is there a way to install VM in hyper-v using this? so I don't want to go thru the OS setup process. I want to install OS in VM and also install all packages.

Thank you very much for the script.
For people who are lazy like me:

Create an extra file packages.txt in the same folder with content like

# browsers
googlechrome 
firefox
# Text editors / IDEs
sublimetext3
...

And replace all choco install calls with

for /F "eol=#" %%G in (packages.txt) do choco install %%G -fy

Lines prefixed with # will be excluded automatically.

This reduces the typing work while preserving the ability to easily remove packages.

Using upgrade also installs. The following can be run at will to install on a fresh system or upgrade packages on existing.

`@echo off
echo Administrative permissions required. Detecting permissions ...

net session >nul 2>&1
if %errorLevel% == 0 (
ECHO Okay ...
IF EXIST "C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\chocolatey.exe" (
ECHO Chocolatey is already installed ...
choco upgrade chocolatey chocolatey-core.extension -y
) ELSE (
ECHO Installing Chocolatey ...
@PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
)
ECHO Checking packages ...
for /F "eol=#" %%G in (packages.txt) do choco upgrade %%G -y
) else (
echo Failure: Current permissions inadequate.
)`

packages.txt:
package_1
package_2
package_3
#ignored_package_4
package_5
