This program installs Chocolatey - a package manager for Windows. See https://choHISTORY:org/ for more info.

“InstChoco is the evolution of an old batch file I used over the years to automate installing Chocolatey followed by a bunch of ”choco install program -y“ commands to install my standard set of packages. I eventually decided to make it a program and add many additional features as well as integrate with other Chocolatey packages I've created.

FEATURES:

“This is the culmination of many long days of work. I think InstChoco

InstChoco uses ferventcoder/Rob's "Install with cmd.exe" method for installing Chocolatey. to new features. Feel free to contact me with feedback.

InstChoco can install Chocolatey v0.10.11 offline. No Internet required.

InstChoco will enable up to four choco features if you pass them as parameters,

 i.e. [[allowGlobalConfirmation]], [[failOnAutoUninstaller]], [[allowEmptyChecksums]], [[useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades]], etc.

InstChoco can download a PACKAGES.CONFIG file from the Internet and install packages from that downloaded file.
InstChoco will automatically search for a PACKAGES.CONFIG file in various locations on your computer and install
```
 packages from it if found.
```

InstChoco has baked in support for Choco Package List Backup to Local and Cloud. InstChoco will use the first found

 PACKAGES.CONFIG in the following order: current directory, Documents folder, HOMESHARE, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive,
 iCloudDrive, OneDrive, ReadyCLOUD, Nextcloud, Resilio Sync, Seafile, or Tonido Sync.

InstChoco has baked in support for Choco Persistent Packages. InstChoco will use PERSISTANTPACKAGES.CONFIG and
```
 install packages from it if found.
```
InstChoco has a baked in mini version of Choco Package List Backup to Local and Cloud to backup a list of your
```
 installed Chocolatey packages.
```
InstChoco has baked in support for Windows Active Directory domains. InstChoco will use various PACKAGES.CONFIG files based on Windows domain and Windows domain user account to install packages from them if found. Now you can easily standardize your organization with base Chocolatey package installs.

SPECIAL FEATURES FOR WINDOWS ACTIVE DIRECTORY DOMAINS:

InstChoco will use DOMAINNAMEPACKAGES.CONFIG and install packages from it if found. This allows Windows AD domain joined computers to have a commonly installed base setup of Chocolatey packages across all organizational computers.

To use this feature, Windows system administrators of Windows AD domains need to create a DOMAINNAMEPACKAGES.CONFIG file and put it in your logon server's NETLOGON directory; i.e. \\LOGONSERVER\NETLOGON\DOMAINNAMEPACKAGES.CONFIG

InstChoco will use USERNAMEPACKAGES.CONFIG and install packages from it if found. This allows users of Windows AD

 domain joined computers to have their own specific Chocolatey packages installed for them, useful for first time
 setup and roaming users. To use this feature, system administrators or users in Windows AD domains need to create
 a USERNAMEPACKAGES.CONFIG file and put it in the root of the user's [[HOMESHARE]];

Chocolatey related ONLY: Give me a 100 term vocabulary list sorted by popularity in usage (by commonly used / frequency of use in codebases). That means 100 terms, not 100 words. DO NOT REPEAT YOURSELF. Acronyms related to Chocolatey technology are allowed but they must be expanded. e.g. RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). The terms should have to do ONLY with and SPECIFICALLY with Chocolatey, CANNOT include generic operating system terms, generic IT terms, or computing terms. No definitions. Just the words. Each word should be surrounded by double brackets and separated by a comma and on the same lines. e.g. robots, robotics. Etc.
