(Re)Install Windows with Ease
Posted on 10:24 PM by Rahul Navet
If you are upgrading to Windows 7 from XP you will need to do a clean install, and installing your favorite apps again is time consuming and annoying. Ninite is a cool new service created by two programmers in San Francisco who believe that installing software shouldn’t require work.
Here is what Ninite does:
- Installs your favorite applications (while you walk away and do something more enjoyable)
- Large selection of popular freeware and open source applications.
- Automatically downloads and install your selected apps using Ninite installer (latest, best version of each app)
- Installs the software with default settings and says “no” to any extra crapware (like browser toolbars)
- Even Ninite isn't installed on your system
- Ninite checks your PC's language
- 64-bit support
- Ninite runs on Windows XP/Vista/7
- Works in the background
- 100% hands-free.
Steps to Install (courtesy: HowToGeek.com)
Go to the Ninite site and pick the software apps you want to install.
After you made your choices, click on the Get Installer button at the bottom of the list.
Download the Ninite installer file.
Then double click to launch it.
Now walk away and go go to the coffee shop, have a beer, play some xbox or whatever you want to do that is more fun than installing a bunch of programs. A progress screen is displayed while it downloads and installs your selected programs.
When you get back you will see the finished screen.
You’ll see the icons of the programs you installed on the desktop and in the start menu. The default install paths and settings are automatically chosen for you with no crapware at all. Now you can enjoy using your favorite apps with little effort on your part. It couldn’t be easier, it’s so easy that even Grandma can pull it off.
