Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Inability to auto-install software on newly added agents so that admins can make sure all machines have necessary software and if a user of said machine attempts to remove it. It would re-install it. To expand further on this maybe make a policy/template that admins can assign to agents such as workforce agents need to install office automatically, but development agents need to install a different set of tools automatically.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
The ability for Tactical RMM to check if a piece of software is installed and if not attempt to install it through chocolatey automatically.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
The ability to have a condition for a script to run that would install said application. Such as:
if not google chrome installed:
choco install googlechrome

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
I am not sure if this is already available and I am missing it. I did go through documentation, but all I found were scripts on how to check if x application is installed where I was hoping something more through the web interface. If this is not possible I understand, and thank you for all your hard work.

This can be done now with Choco (or Winget) and scripts...it could definitely use polish and features though.

This is not entirely unrelated to #1276 and #1148 and others.

Problem is not all choco's handle install via system well (per-software quirks), and you can't install via user without admin rights....and it all gets quite messy to #JustWork

Okay, got ya and thank you for letting me know and the quick response. I figured it could be done with scripting on it's own, but I wanted to submit a feature request anyway in case it was in the works or maybe if it already existed, but I was unaware.
