Download and Install several Software the lazy way with the Evergreen module from Aaron Parker, Bronson Magnan and Trond Eric Haarvarstein.
To update or download a software package just switch from 0 to 1 in the section "Select software" (With PowerShell parameter -list) or select your Software out of the GUI.
Don't forget to set the Software Version, Update Ring, Architecture and so on.
A new folder for every single package will be created, together with a version file and a log file.
If a new version is available the script checks the version number and will update the package.
I'm no powershell expert, so I'm sure there is much room for improvements!
So let me hear your feedback, I will try to include everything as much as I can.
