Features:
- Listen for archives and installers to appear in Downloads folder (as well as any subfolders)
- Auto-unpack .zip, .rar, .7z and .iso archives
- Auto-run .msi installers silently (will also uninstall first)
- Auto-detect installer type and run .exe installers silently (currently supports NSIS, Inno Setup, InstallAware and InstallShield installers)
Use-cases:
- Automatically unpack and install hardware drivers or software you download with your browser, e.g. Google Chrome (notably installers that are not yet available for package managers such as WinGet or Ninite)
- Save all your drivers/software in a folder, and when reformatting Windows, copy/move them to Downloads folder to automatically unpack and install them all.
