I too moved to Foxit it around 5 years ago.. but 2-3 years ago I dumped it because it became riddled with 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.

Anyone used KiTTY here yet?
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.

I'm getting an error installing it with chocolatey.
-
Same error as I saw on another thread?

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 upgradeon 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. -
@scottalanmiller and that is awesome!

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

Although I just tried to use Choco uninstall lastpass (Lastpass was causing IE 11 to crash) and it failed to remove it with errors.
-
You seem to be having a lot of issues. You should add that to one of your threads.
-
So has anyone here setup their own list?

Except they tend to take a while to approve it. I can get the stuff out with a custom GPO msi faster than Choco gets things approved.
