This script will delete all unnecessary shortcuts and rename the start menu folder from VLC to VideoLAN VLC. You will need to change the text “vlc-2.2.6-win64.exe” to the name of the installer. Navigate to File > Save As and save the file as “Install.bat” to the directory with the VLC installer.

Finally, copy your installer file and script to a software repository to be distributed with a Systems Management Service appliance.
