Thanks.  But I P.S.'d about that option as undesirable -- as it requires to
maintain quite a long list of packages, all listed individually...

Why do you need to maintain a list?  You have the download directory, right?
Just make a list from that as part of your install script.

There are other, more esoteric ways to get "setup*.exe" to install a list
of packages but, in the end, it still requires a list of packages to know
what you want to install.  So I don't see an advantage in these other
alternatives.
