| 835898 | 2009-12-03 00:01:00 | One of the best sites for Packaging is www.appdeploy.com Mass deploying an app can be as easy as a few command line switches with a vendor released MSI, or completely repackaging using a packager like "Wise Package Studio". |

| 835900 | 2009-12-03 00:38:00 | Or go here (http://ninite.com/) select what you want. It'll download the lot in one install. If its not there, give them a link | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 835901 | 2009-12-03 00:46:00 | yeah Im just looking at that right now...Looks very close to what Im looking for but there are a bunch of apps which I load on a regular basis for work, would like something with a little wider scope | 12steps (14778) | ||
| 835902 | 2009-12-03 01:29:00 | You could always run a batch script to do what you want. Put the apps on a cd and run the file installs in sequence. |

| 835903 | 2009-12-03 01:49:00 | But how do you get round all the mouse clicks and I agrees etc, not to mention unclicking the crapware that is increasingly being foisted upon us? | linw (53) | ||
| 835904 | 2009-12-03 02:08:00 | But how do you get round all the mouse clicks and I agrees etc, not to mention unclicking the crapware that is increasingly being foisted upon us? Answer files, custom VB scripts(with registry entries etc) and it all else fails "Autoit". A lot of mainstream software have pretty good MSI's where a few switches will do the trick, its the crappy business old legacy apps that cause most of the headaches. |
