Ninite Pro is absolutely awesome: you can remotely manage installed software and software patches within your network with a silent install process. The Pro version comes with a command line installer, but I’ll not be using that. This installer can be called from the command line but the basic version still opens a graphical interface however no interaction is required. This site allows you to create a single exe installer which contains your own selection of a large number of applications/frameworks/utilities:įor an ASP.Net developer PC I’ve gone with Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Skype, VLC, Flash, Air, Java, Silverlight, Launchy, 7-Zip, WinSCP, PuTTY, Notepad++, WinMerge, Paint.NET, PDFCreator, Reader, DropBox, and Everything Search for my installer.
Installing Applications & Utilities: ninite Part 1 of this series of 4 is for the easiest tool of all: I’ll start with the intended ideal option for each tool, and then go into how this doesn’t work perfectly and why, and what the other options are. I thought I’d have a play with coding up a set of scripts to do as much of this setup as possible instead there are a few tools out there to do this sort of thing, and I’ve gone with ninite, webpi, and chocolatey. But who’s organised enough to do that?! I’ll get onto that option in another post, but this one is more an excuse to play with interesting stuff. Setting up a development PC can be a bit of a pain, unless you’re smart and create an image following the setup of a brand new vanilla install.
