Automagically install all dependencies

Similar to this request: Recursive dependency install I would like to ask for an automatic way to install missing dependencies.
When moving a patch to a new machine, it feels tedious to click each and every dependency to install it. It would be nice to have an install all dependencies function or even creating a batch or PS script to do it automatically.

+100 for this. A window for dependencies with some automatic way to resolve dependency issues would be very helpful!

This is scheduled to arrive with a 7.x release in combination with the Package Manager.

could it also include other scripts to eg set power behavior never sleep, turn off screen etc. and maybe ignore startup failures.
having a checklist of common things to do to a new install that you can check, would be cool.
perhaps some inspiration from this thread Off topic: Seeking Advice on Installation Backup Strategies & Windows Update Management - #16 by Hadasi

@sune we prolly need to setup a GitHub repository with all the windows tweaks and scripts used in the community

GitHub - antokhio/shell: Collection of useful scripts for windows mostly. made a repo here, started to fill it up, be my guest to add your stuff

A collect all external libraries to project folder would I think, be useful, with a setting to use local libraries first. Maybe a text file documenting all libraries and VL version? I often have to fix old patches, its much easier if everything is in one place.
