The time that the user spends on the search and installation of the necessary programs, for example, when changing the operating system, may be calculated by the clock. And if this is a local network with a dozen computers, then these procedures can go all day. Fortunately, there are programs in nature to significantly reduce the duration of this process.
Such software is divided into two categories: programs for automatic installation of finished distributions and application directories downloaded from the Internet.
Multiset.
Multiset refers to the first category. The program using the user's step-by-step record creates an application installation script. Then, on demand either in automatic mode, installs it on a computer.
The Soft Arsenal also includes the functions of creating loading media with assemblies recorded on them, including with the operating system as part.
Maestro Autoinstaller
Very similar to the previous source representative. Maestro AutoInstaller also records the installation with subsequent playback, but has a more friendly and understandable interface, as well as a smaller set of additional functions. The program is able to create distributions with application packages, but it is not capable of writing them on discs and flash drives.
Npackd.
NPACKD is a powerful directory program. With it, you can download and install the application represented in the list, update and delete already installed, add your programs. The software added to the NPACKD repository has every chance of becoming popular, as it enters the general directory and can be used by all its users.
Ddownloads.
DDownLoads is another application directory representative, but with several other functions. The principle of operation of the program is built on the use of a database containing a huge list of software with a detailed description of properties and features.
In essence, DDownloads is an information platform with the possibility of downloading installers from official sites. True, it also has the opportunity to replenish the database with its applications, but they will not fall into the general directory, but only will be contained in the local database file.
A large number of features and settings allow you to use a program as a storage of information and links and as a common directory for users of your local network.
We reviewed several programs that allow you to find, download and install a large number of applications in automatic mode. You should not neglect this knowledge, as you may need to reinstall the system at any time, and with it all the necessary software. To do this, it is not necessary to collect a collection of installers at all: using Multiset, you can record them on the boot disk along with Windows or create a DDownloads information database in Lokalka to quickly find the desired links.
