Potentially useful tangent idea:  I like using VMs for Windows related stuff like this.  You could even boot and bring down the VM from the Host machine using a script.

If you're using VirtualBox, which works great, you can use VBoxManage to startup a Windows machine; headless or regular.

Cheers,
Nathan

Windows XP presents a problem.  I don’t think Chocolatey or even Ketarin supports it.  However, according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39386471/can-i-build-chocolatey-packages-on-linux it is possible to compile using Mono on Linux.  I don’t know how much you are willing to alter your Linux installations, but all the script would really need to do is edit values contained in two text files, commit those changes in Git, run the chocolatey package command, and push the package.

Note that the builds are made on WinXP for maximum backwards
compatibility. I've never used powershell, but be aware that the build
environment is old for a reason.

Also, the whole build process is scripted over ssh with cygwin bash in
the windows image. So whatever I run has to be callable from that
environment.
