Ninite Automated Freeware Installer

Has anyone tried ninite ?

Quote:

Ninite installs apps with default settings and
says "no" to browser toolbars and other junk.

Ninite checks your PC's language and 64-bit support
to install the latest, best version of each app.

Ninite runs on Windows XP/Vista/7 and works
in the background 100% hands-free.

All Ninite does is install the apps you choose.
Not even Ninite is installed.

It includes plenty of Gizmo's top picks.

Looks like a great tool to keep in mind ready for that next clean install.

It was mentioned here some days ago... possibly by someone connected with Ninite, or someone who came across it.

Ninite: A Free Automated Software Installer

It has got a nice list of softwares. The use of these types of programs depend on an individual's choice. I personally keep a collection of freewares/free softwares on my PC. I also like to get the setup from the main site of the software, rather than somewhere else.

But maybe, it will be of use to some people, and they may like it.

Oops, sorry for the duplication.

I haven't tried it personally yet but it certainly looks useful. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any experience of using it?

I've used this site on three machines, and it works great. Check off all the software you want, download the installer, run it and walk away.

Pros: The software is always up to date: every time I install software half the programs on my thumb drive have a newer version. Saves time: no running each install, just walk away and wait for it to finish.

Cons: No choice in version of software (ie 32 or 64 bit if available). No choice in setup options and file locations.

All the software I installed, about 12 programs in one go, are ones that are a standard install anyways, so I had no problems.

Worth a try, saved me a bit of time.

Interesting thanks.

Update: Ninite now installs the 64 bit version of your install picks (provided there is one, and you're using a 64 bit OS

)

Still liking it...

Thanks for the update!
I'll definitely give this a go next time the need arises - I use a lot of the apps it offers so it will certainly save me some time.
