I'd like to re-open the question from link below, where several packages were suggested besides Ninite.com such as allmyapps.com. Package managers for Windows
What I'd like to know is if they are all to be trusted to install in Windows 7 (64bit) so that the manager:
- Installs the latest version of software.
- Supports 64 bit installs where possible.
- Strips ads/toolbars/similar stuff.
The later two points from previous questions are good but not a priority in the preparation of a clean install
- Provides a way to keep the programs updated after installation.
- If I can add custom installers to the software, that's a big plus.
I am more concerned here about using a legitimate application I can trust to establish the basis of clean image of my operating system with all the application of choice installed without fuss and spam/bloatware.
