Add LabVIEW installers to chocolatey

Status: New

Chocolatey:

The package manager for Windows (like apt-get but for Windows). https://chocolatey.org

 

Chocolatey it's a command line tool to download and install software with focus in automation and unattended..

 

something like:

 

choco install labview

 

and after a few coffees, voila. All installed.

 

it also supports local files, e.g.

 

choco install labview --source d:\

 

in case you have the "package" in the d drive.


 

 

Installing NI drivers should be something like:

 

 choco install NIDrivers               //full installation

 

 

choco install NIDrivers.NIDCPower            // Only NIDCPower 

 

Toolkits could be handle in the same way.

 

Chocolatey also handles dependencies. So requiring LV before installing any toolkit should be straight forward.
