Initial Setup & Program Installer script

This is a simple PowerShell script used for installation of various software during initial Windows setup or at a later stage if required.
The script utilizes mostly WinGet but for some apps Chocolatey package manager is used.

Inspiration

This script was inspired by , however it only incorporates software installation! No update policies or privacy settings are being changed or can be changed with it. The script's UI is also completely Terminal based.
The basic menu structure was loosely based on Jon Dechiro's suggestion (over at Stackoverflow).

Note

• '*' Behind the name of an application points to the fact that the installer file is downloaded from the publisher's official repository and not through MS Store. Those installers will automatically be downloaded inside ~\Downloads\ after which the installation process will start. The user is able to select installation destination of the application.
• App Application written in this style means that Chocolatey package manager is being utilized. User will be prompted for confirmation inside the terminal. Install location used is default.

Those adjustments were needed as not all used by me applications were available from the official MS Store and WinGet repos.
