Windows does have cscript.exe[1] / wscript.exe which allows more control than batch files. CScript stays in a console window, while wscript produces a Windows popup. They use JScript and VBScript. It can also interface with WMI [2] if needed. WMI Reference [3], VBScript language reference [4].
A couple of references [5][6] show two very different ways to download files.

The .bat versions requires some library like visual basic which was considered too painful a requirement and thus we wrote the installer. It might be better to make the installer also a "configurator" or write a separate "configurator"?
