Didn't really see a good place to put this so I figured General is the best spot.

Anyway, I know this forum is primarily filled with Linux users (and which I prefer over Windows CMD anyway) but I'm looking for a way to automate some installations. A lot of times I have friends that need a computer either 1) reinstalled from scratch or 2) just need a list of common programs to do some stuff.
I have about 10 programs or more that I like to install for them (VLC, SumatraPDF, on and on) and would like a way to just install them easily with no real input from me.
Anyway, I looked up a few things and creating a batch file for Windows but I'm getting caught up on getting it to automate installations. I thought there was a way to do it without pointing it directly to an .ini file.
So for instance, this is a bit of the code I put into it:
I know it's a lot of questions but I figured a lot of people on here would probably know all of this front and back.
Thanks in advance for any help.
*note- I know there are programs that can do this but I'm also looking to just get good at doing some batch files and then translating that into learning about shell scripts on Linux.
