Easy instilling apps on new PC

This seems quite a decent little tool for getting the common apps on a new windows PC. Simple tick the apps you want (and it included things like 7zip, winscp, putty, avg, office), and it will provide an installed that download all apps from the manufactures web site, and installs them (with out any of that nasty add on's like tool bars).

I think i will keep it book marked.

I use that website religiously. Additionally, if you have an app already installed but it is an old version, it will update them.

You also have Get Mac Apps - Install Multiple Apps With Ease for mac and Ninite for Linux for ubuntu.

That's a nice little tool. I didn't know anything like that existed. Definitely something I can use at work. We reload systems quite frequently in the shop. I notice it doesn't seem to support Adobe Flash though, unless I'm overlooking it.

Bookmarked! I am learning that this is a time consuming task. Thanks for the link!

I should try this but over the years I sort of adopted a "install it as I need it" and over time I was installing less and less stuff.

I am testing this out right now. Seems to be much simpler than creating an AutoIT script. Although AutoIT has made strides towards simplicity, it is still challenging. Check it out:

AutoItScript - AutoItScript Website

You can create scripts to install applications with the specific settings that you want e.g. Install CCleaner but chose to skip the toolbar install, you know the drill. Plus now you can click and drag instead of using just code.

Free version is nice. But the payment scheme they have for the full version is a little over the top if you ask me.

I've been a long time fan of using this. Good to see it still running
