Hey everyone,
I've created a Chocolatey package for the Gridcoin Wallet, located here:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/gridcoinwallet
The package downloads directly from the official website and verifies the hash before installing.
Please let me know if you have any issues. If there's enough interest, I'll create a package that also downloads and installs the snapshot on fresh installs.

The chocolatey package will be a useful tool for maintining the research wallet software particularly since it is not capable of updating itself at the moment.
I hadn't considered using a package manager in Windows before but having installed Chocolatey I see that most of my favorite tools are already available as packages and I am now adding them to my PC which will automatically upgrade the programs I have previously installed.
Today I used Chocolatey GUI to update Grodcoin Wallet to version 4.0.0.0.
So far so good.
