Is it an MSI? If not it should be...

To install:

  C:\> MSIEXEC /I /QB software-name.MSI
To remove:

  C:\> MSIEXEC /X /QB software-name.MSI

(/QB tells msiexec to install the app with the default options, and throw up no gui dialogs)

Admittedly we're missing a good online universal repository system on Windows, but hopefully one day that'll change.



Chocolatey???
