I have already dealt with this topic but since I continue to hear people complaining because, after reinstalling a PC, having formatted it or after buying a new computer, they complain of having to spend a whole day looking for and installing programs, I can't help trying to convince them that there are ways to install them all at once . If in the previous article I had reported the excellent Ninite useful for installing programs all together and in one go, this time we see a similar software that groups the best free programs of the Windows PC and allows you to download and install them automatically .
Unfortunately, the computers that are bought in stores and those that are assembled individually are not equipped with software of this kind.
So you have to surf the internet to search for download and install all your favorite programs manually, one at a time.
For each of them then you must click the "Next" button several times and any sponsors and advertisements must be deleted.
Much better then to have a program that does it all by itself as a global installer and that includes all the best programs for each genre .
It's called TGUP which allows you to install multiple software automatically, without requiring any manual intervention from the user.
Practically, after setting it, you can go and have a coffee at the bar so on your return, all the programs will be in their place ready to be used.
TGUP stands for The Great Unattended Project and is a distribution of Windows applications (all versions including Xp, Vista and Windows 7) that can be used to install the most famous and popular free software .
The program can be used both to download and to install the selected software or only to download and create a silent installer that can also be used on other computers.
In this second case, therefore, once the package has been prepared, it can be copied to a USB stick or to a CD to be used on other systems or to prepare for the installation of a computer without an Internet connection.
TGUP is a portable program that launches an ugly blue window that can be used from the command line.
Beyond this poor interface graphics, TGUP automatically identifies the operating system and language and shows the options on the main screen: download and install the software silently (1), download the software and create an installer to be used in others pc (2), change the program options (3).
In the second screen there is the list of programs (in their latest updated version) which, as you can see, includes the best reported also on navigaweb.net, divided by category.
For example we have: The basic Microsoft programs (Internet Explorer
Java .Net Framework), those for graphics (Adobe Reader, Irfanview, Inkscape, Picasa, XnView) Internet programs (BitComet, Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Flash Player, Flashget, Google Earth, Opera, TeamViewer, Thunderbird), Firefox with all the main extensions, programs to watch videos and listen to music (QuickTime, iTunes, K-Lite Codec Pack, RealPlayer, SopCast, VLC, Winamp, Windows Media Player), Office programs including Excel, PowerPoint and Word Viewers and then the Openoffice suite, and many other tools such as 7-zip, AVG Free, CCleaner, ImgBurn, Microsoft Security Essentials, Nero StartSmart, Notepad ++, Unlocker and others.
Those who have already read this blog I think they will have noticed that almost all these programs have been reported by me as fundamental, best of their kind, free and always recommended.
On TGUP you don't have to take them all together by force, you can choose simply by placing the cross on the desired software.
By clicking on each item listed, you can read the details for that application and, if you do not know, find out what it is used for.
By pressing the Next button now, you can start the download of all the selected programs that will eventually also be installed automatically, in one go, without requiring manual intervention, depending on the option previously chosen.
If you really want to be picky, the only thing missing is information on the size of the selected programs.
