"I have heard it is possible to install an app by running the executable via a batch file ." - that is only correct if the setup executable supports to be run without interaction. It would need to support switches like for example "/silent". If it does, those need to be set in the batch file.
Open in new window
for example.Just open the GPO at the place that you quoted, insert the batch right there.
