#Worklets

Hello!

Has anyone successfully tried to do something like...

choco install notepadplusplus

...in an Autromox worklet?

It seems like such a simple and glorious thig to do - but alas like most simple and glorious things, it doesn’t appear to work from inside a worklet.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Mark
