Have you considered Chocolatey? Darius obviously he hasn't, but now that you mention it he will have — barlop. The program the developer childishly called "chocolatey nugget", or chocolatey for short, is a package manager , like an apt-get but for windows. It got its name 'cos the developer based it off of NuGet which is a package manager for visual studio, and that sounds like nugget as in chicken nugget , so he thought he'd be "funny" or "clever" and call his program Chocolatey NuGet.

I heard that on a podcast that interviewed him. It doesn't have anywhere near as many programs as apt-get — barlop. I should point out Windows 10 has this type of functionality built-in. Customize the Taskbar in Windows What Is svchost. Best Smartwatches. Best Gaming Laptops.

August 12, Zero Install cross-platform package manager also comes with a OneGet provider. Hopefully it'll be added to the OneGet bootstrapping list soon. You can track the progress in this GitHub issue. One of the nice features of Zero Install is side-by-side installation allowing multiple versions of apps, clean uninstalls and no DLL hell.

Full disclosure: I'm the main Windows dev on the project. Bastian Eicher. Am I the only one thinking on this as an abstract factory? August 13, Where are the Exe's? I am having a hard find finding the installed programms like Notepad2? Regards, Peter. August 14, Ok, I found it thanks to Kerry who mentioned it already.

Without setting Execution Policy to something other than restricted nothing gets actually downloaded because the install script won't run. But at least a warning message would have been helpful. OneGet and Chocolatey both have terrible documentation. It's all 5 month old blog posts leading to confusingly named websites and GitHub repositories, abandoned Twitter accounts, and the strangely non-commitant release notes of Chocolatey "may break something in some cases, but it's better, we hope" This blog post is the clearest yet since the Windows 10 release, so Scott, if you know any of them, be sure to tell them when you meet them that Windows 10 has been released, and they need to get their act together.

Also, none of this actually works, as is clear from the comments here, so at best we are all talking about a proof of concept that shipped in Windows I think it can be great for pro users and developers, but not with Chocolatey. As someone else said, Chocolatey is just wrapping. One should never just download and run installers, yet this is what Chocolatey will end up encouraging.

The only way forward is installations that are purely based on declarative syntax, not executable code. The trusted installer will simply copy files, nothing more. And apps will remain sandboxed, not registry access, just file in their own install dir, in temp, and in their own dir in user data.

There is no sandboxing of the actual installed application yet. August 15, OK I had a lot of trouble getting these steps running on a clean Windows 10 installation, if anyone else is encountering the same issues, you might want to read on: 1.

First, run PowerShell as Administrator , otherwise nothing will work and it will silently fail yes, it's annoying. Run the commands in Scott's blog post to enable Chocolatey provider and install packages such as vlc. Ahmet Alp Balkan. August 20, Excellent post. August 25, Once I've used Linux I became sick of all that 'yum' and 'apt-get' stuff forever. Until all you need is 'apt-get install mc' on a newly created VM it's all great. But when you need some particular version of some particular software, you are googling for all that repositories, which are maintained by god knows who, and you don't really know if it will be available next time you need it.
