Andrewr05 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I came across this sweet piece of software: NINITE It essentially automates the installation of a list of commonly used programs, it installs them automatically with a single running of the main program (ninite) and runs trough any updates and it even automatically deselects any toolbars the program may be installing. Seems to work pretty nice, it isn't just for NEW installations either, it keeps things up to date with every sequential use. Quote I found from the creator on Reddit: "I make Ninite and we hear this about the name every now and then. I don't think the name itself is that weird: google and reddit are pretty weird too. It's just that people don't use us every day like those other tools. We have a reputation for being only useful on fresh PCs, but that's wrong in light of all the new features we've been adding (check out ninite.com/help ). Ninite will intelligently update out-of-date apps and skip current ones, so you can just run an installer again and again to keep stuff up to date. Also, I'd argue we're way more convenient than most sites for even downloading a single app. Who want's to click Next Next Next through even one installer? tl;dr: Use Ninite more and you'll remember the name. It might also help to follow/fan us at twitter or facebook" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedCrazy Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 How wide a range of programs does it work with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 How wide a range of programs does it work with? The list of programs that it works with is right on the main page. Check the programs you want and download the file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Looks good. Hopefully I'll remember this site when it comes time for a reinstall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedCrazy Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 That list is quite comprehensive. What type of file does it create? Is it one i could load on a flash drive and keep for every fresh install i do? Just stick the drive in and run the .exe or whatever?

Just a regular.exe, however it does NOT actually contain and/or install the programs from that .exe, it just automates the download of and installation of those files.

xPETEZx Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Thats amazing! Would be so useful if it where possible to use this with some of the apps we use at work! Would make PC builds so quick. Will definitely keep this bookmarked till the next time I re-build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savan Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I use ninite all the time, its great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 It works pretty good!! just make sure you don't have any other installers running (since the ninite ones run in the back and others in the foreground can cause some of them to fail) all in all good stuff!! I also checked alot of new freeware that I've never tried. OpenOffice is nice and Everything is CRAZY strong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Finally got a chance to use this It even goes as far to check if "X" software is already installed and if its the latest version.
