funny as I'm reading this I'm installing a bunch of dev apps using chocolatey. "choco install visualstudiocode -y" and it's done. I'm kind of surprised MS doesn't have an official way to do this, but it's better than MSDN dev downloads was back in the day. Or (shudder) the big binder of MSDN CDs.

In fact, to install chocolatey on your computer you can run "Install-Package -Name Chocolatey" "Set-PackageSource -Name chocolatey -ProviderName chocolatey" makes Install-Package more useful, at which point you dont need chocolatey installed, as youve already added it as a repo that Install-Package can access. "Install-PackageProvider Chocolatey" also works. I find it all a little confusing which is which but oh well. I suppose its up to you which is more pleasant to type "choco install xx -y" or "Install-Package -Name xx"
