I haven’t tried this, but since Chocolatey is already installed it would probably be easiest to just use a PowerShell script.

I did this on my Windows 10 PC with PowerShell 5. This is using PowerShell’s new package manager and adding the Chocolatey site as a provider.

# Adding the Chocolately repository.
Install-PackageProvider chocolatey -Force

# Installing the adobereader package from the Chocolatey provider.
Install-Package -Name adobereader -Provider Chocolatey -Force

Again, haven’t tested it. What you want to do should definitely be possible though.

Note: No idea what version of Windows or PowerShell you’re running. Windows 10 comes with the Package Manager and PowerShell 5. Windows 7 you can update to PowerShell 4.0 and then manually install the Package Manager. There is an MSI file somewhere on a Microsoft site about it.
