You can definitely include it in the repo! I know there are a few things that could be done better, especially around the timing and reliability of the scheduled task, so as I iron those out, I'll submit the changes for you.

We have about 13,000 Mac's, and I've been using Configuration Manager prestages that use a trimmed down version of this script as part of the task sequence. I had added an extra step in the task sequence right after this script to validate that it was done before moving on (secondary insurance), so I'll have to spend some more time verifying that the timing logic itself is working as intended.
As for invoking it, you can just call 'C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exe' with the parameters '-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ' which will avoid having to change execution policy on the system.
I think Task Scheduler is the best way to run as SYSTEM due to the fact that many company policies or AV vendors view PsExec as a potential security threat.

My computer is a iMac (20-inch, Mid 2007). The model identifier is iMac7,1. The processor name is Intel Core 2 Duo, which means I have a 64 bit machine. The Apple web site Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems shows the only downloadable Boot Camp support software for my Mac is for the 32 bit version of Windows 7. I can successfully install the 64 bit DVD installation versions of Windows 7 and 8 on my machine. The problem I am having is with the Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033. When I follow the instructions and double click on setup.exe, I get the following popup.
How do I successfully install this support software and avoid this popup?

These are the instructions for a Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 (64 bit) installation. Here, I assume the Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 has been copied to a flash drive. The instructions were adapted from the originals given here.
- Determine the drive letter of your flash drive, by inserting thedrive in a USB port on the Mac. Below is an example of the expectedpopup. This image shows F: as the drive letter. Your drive letter mybe different. You can close this popup.
- Open a Administrator Command Prompt window by left clicking theStart button, left clicking All Programs, leftclicking Accessories, right clicking Command Prompt, and thenleft clicking Run as Administrator. When prompted to allow changes,click on Yes. The window should appear as shown below.
- Assuming F: is your flash drive, change your working directory byentering the following command in the Administrator Command Promptwindow. Be sure to replace the letter before the : with the driveletter of your flash drive.
- In the Administrator Command Prompt window, enter the followingcommand to start installing the Boot Camp Support Software.
- Follow the onscreen instructions.
- Installation can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt theinstallation process. When installation is complete, click Finish inthe dialog that appears.
- A system restart dialog box appears. Click Yes to complete theinstallation.
