InstallPad silently installs your favorite programs
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Downloading the latest versions of your favorite programs is a tiring task, especially on a fresh installation of Windows. Navigating through the mess of websites and download links is frustrating, waiting for the installers to download is boring, and running each one separately is annoying. InstallPad relies on “application lists,” which are XML files that tell it where to download the programs and how to install them. It has a built-in GUI for building and editing an application list (or you can edit XML by hand if you like), and you can select which applications from the list to install. The cool part is that it does all of this silently. You don’t have to sit there and press next a million times, because InstallPad does it for you. It can download from HTTP and FTP sources as well as run local installers or network resources.
