How to Use

1. Copy the code into a file named install_all.ps1.
2. Place the script in the main directory containing Folder1, Folder2, etc.
3. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
4. Run the script: .\install_all.ps1.

Key Features

• -Wait parameter: Ensures one installation finishes before the next one starts.
• cmd.exe /c: Correctly handles and executes legacy batch (.bat) files.
• /qn switch: Runs .msi installers silently in the background.

Timeout Details

• Calculation: The variable $TimeoutSeconds = 600 translates to exactly 10 minutes.
• Enforcement: If any installer hangs or waits for user input for longer than 10 minutes, PowerShell forcefully kills the process ($proc.Kill()), logs the failure, and moves to the next folder.
