Windows Application Manager

Manager that automatically install/remove/update programs on Windows.

Advantages

• Programs "profiles" easy to write
• Allow to update all installed programs with only one command
• Allow to launch all installed programs directly on CMD/PowerShell from any location

Included Programs

• Python embed (see readme into bin/python_embed for detailed info)
• 7-Zip (see readme into bin/7zip_embed for detailed info)

Requirements

• Windows Vista/Server 2008 or newer
• Can open CMD/PowerShell as Administrator

Installation steps

• Install Microsoft C Runtime 2015
• Download the last stable release (recommended) or clone the master branch
• Put the program where you want (preferably in "C:\appman")
• Add the folder 'appman\bin' to the system path
• Now you can reach the manager simply typing 'appman' on CMD/PowerShell from any location
• In the same way you can now reach 7-Zip typing '7z' (or '7zfm' if you want the GUI)
