The Browse Apps section of Winscript lets you select any combination of popular Windows applications across 13 categories. Once you have made your selections, Winscript generates a ready-to-run PowerShell script that installs every chosen app in a single pass — no clicking through installers, no browser tabs, no manual downloads.
You can also type any valid package ID directly into the manual input field to add apps that are not listed in the GUI. The generated script is displayed in real time and updates as you check or uncheck apps.
Package Managers
Winscript supports two package managers. You choose which one to use from the Package Manager dropdown before generating your script.
Chocolatey is a long-established Windows package manager with a large community repository. If Chocolatey is not already installed on the system, Winscript prepends the official install command to the generated script:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
1.7.0, Winscript automatically upgrades it before proceeding:
$v = winget -v; if ([version]($v.TrimStart('v')) -lt [version]'1.7.0') { Write-Output '-- Old Winget version detected, upgrading.'; Set-Location $env:USERPROFILE; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://aka.ms/getwinget' -OutFile 'winget.msixbundle'; Add-AppPackage -ForceApplicationShutdown .\winget.msixbundle; Remove-Item .\winget.msixbundle } else { Write-Output 'Winget is already up to date, skipping upgrade.' }
A small number of apps are only available on one package manager. The GUI marks these with a “Not available on Winget” or “Not available on Chocolatey” label so you always know what will be skipped.

How It Works
When you click Run, Winscript builds a self-contained PowerShell script that:
- Restarts Windows Explorer — prevents stale environment variable state from causing Chocolatey errors.
- Refreshes the PATH — reads the current Machine and User
PATH values so the newly installed choco binary is immediately available in the same session.
- Loops through every selected package — calls the package manager once per app with flags that suppress interactive prompts and ignore non-fatal exit codes.
Chocolatey install loop:
$env:Path = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","Machine") + ";" + [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path","User")
$apps = @("brave", "vlc", "discord")
foreach ($app in $apps) { choco install $app -y --force --ignorepackageexitcodes }
$apps = @("Brave.Brave", "VideoLAN.VLC", "Discord.Discord")
foreach ($app in $apps) { winget install $app --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --force }
You can manually enter any Chocolatey or Winget package ID in the Enter package ID field and click Add App to include apps that are not in the built-in list. Package IDs must contain only alphanumeric characters, dots, underscores, plus signs, and hyphens.
