      I need to dig into this more. A free/near free way to deploy updates to things like Java/Adobe Reader/Adobe flash, would be awesome.

      Those are all included in Chocolatey's repository. We just don't include them as standard as we avoid Java and Flash as default deployments. We should really move Reader to Chocolatey, though, as that is something that it would handle better than Reader's own updater.

      I stopped using reader and started using Foxit. Reader always took a bazillion megs of ram and Foxit seems to have more tools.

      I did have to use reader one time for a pdf for my transcripts because it was encrypted and stopped working after 30 days, but other than that I use Foxit.

      choco install foxitreader

        Does the Chocolatey version remove all the crap ware their normal install dragged along? I too moved to Foxit it around 5 years ago.. but 2-3 years ago I dumped it because it became riddled with crapware. 😞

          FileZilla has no crapware.

            The installer did, or Foxit itself?

              Installer did. Don't think there was a way to get it from their site without the installer though.

                Chocolatey does not use installers. Just the products.

                  Looks like a package error, that would be a question for a new thread.

                     choco install kitty.portable

                      I feel like @thanksajdotcom does. I've always been pretty happy with standard PuTTY.

                        Although check out ConEMU. It can be pretty cool.

                                Is chocolatey a capable tool for auto updating software on Windows.

                                Being a package manager I'd imagine it is, just reading a bit about and I'm seeing possibilities.

                                  It is but only for the software in its repository. Which is a lot, but it is not going to work for MS Office, Windows itself, ad hoc third party proprietary software, etc.

                                    @mlnews It's all of the common crap with day 0 exploits that I'm thinking about...

                                    A rapid update solution.

                                      Yes, Chocolatey is a full package management system and you can run the command choco upgrade on a schedule. You can have it update every package an hour before people start work every morning to make sure that they have the latest patches before every day of work.

                                            I'm surprised. installing things with Chocolatey puts them in the add/remove programs.
