    Yeah, totally.

    Just imagine trying to do this with Windows Powershell, without a package manager like chocolatey to make it simple like linux…

    $workdir = "c:\installer\"
    
    If (Test-Path -Path $workdir -PathType Container)
    
    { Write-Host "$workdir already exists" -ForegroundColor Red}
    
    ELSE
    
    { New-Item -Path $workdir  -ItemType directory }
    
    $source = "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US"
    
    $destination = "$workdir\firefox.exe"
    
    if (Get-Command 'Invoke-Webrequest')
    
    {
    
         Invoke-WebRequest $source -OutFile $destination
    
    }
    
    else
    
    {
    
        $WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
    
        $webclient.DownloadFile($source, $destination)
    
    }
    
    Start-Process -FilePath "$workdir\firefox.exe" -ArgumentList "/S"
    
    Start-Sleep -s 35
    
    rm -Force $workdir/firefox*
