Looking for programming language with good integration to Windows

[kalos]

Hello!

I am looking for recent advances in Windows/Web automation that can do things like:
1) automate both high and low level Windows and its apps
2) perform large data analysis
3) integrate with Excel and wider Office
4) automate Web/Chrome/Edge

However, I have the following requirements:
1) no installation needed, no admin rights needed, no executables that may be admin blocked
2) fully compatibility/stability with latest Windows
3) easy syntax (without having to write 100 lines of code just to detect and click a button)
4) no Powershell, no cmd, no WSCRIPT, no AHK (as it requires executables and may not have good Windows integration)
5) Power Automate is okay but ideally would like something else as it is not standard with every Windows
6) if it can run on virtual machine or cloud, it would be ideal

Do the above ring any bell? I suppose I can install Python and do all the above but again would prefer no installation.
Thanks!

I doubt there is anything that satisfies all those demands

How do you propose to do all (any?) of the above without installing anything?

Fwiw, I use Rexx (specifically Regina Rexx, plus several add-on modules) for a lot of automation because it does not require installation. But if you want something that will do pretty much everything a person might do, with no powershell, no cmd, no installation, and no "executables", then what you want is to hire someone to do the tasks for you.

4) no Powershell, no cmd, no WSCRIPT, ...
5) Power Automate is okay but ideally would like something else as it is not standard with every Windows

In point 4 you eliminated those which come standard with Windows and then in point 5 state something else that would be suitable but eliminate it because it does not come standard with Windows.

You need to rethink your requirements, either you want something that comes standard with Windows or you don't.

And FWIW, Powershell 7 does not require installation neither does Python.

Mmm really, Python does not require installation on Win10? How come when I install any IDE like PyCharm, Anaconda, they install Python at the same time?

All from just looking up portable python windows...

You said Python, not an IDE, Python does not require an IDE.

All it requires is a text editor and to know what you're doing ... you're halfway there
