Speed ​​Install 2.0 - Windows Repository

Repositories for Linux and Mac exist for a long time and make the life of users of these systems more comfortable.

Repository advantage:
- selection of a program from several competitors in the required category,
- always install the latest version,
- automatic installation, without endless "Next", "I agree", "I accept".

The question of creating a repository has already raised the dozent in its topic , and Goodkat in the comments .

Speed ​​Install 2.0 (2.0.1.1531, to be exact) performs the tasks and is not limited to Microsoft products.

In 2008, I downloaded Google Chrome to see what kind of beast it was, and so stayed on it. In the same way, the developers gave me a sample program, but now I can’t imagine how I will continue without it. You quickly get used to comfort.
 

Usability

The interface impresses with its ease. I went to the “Multimedia” section, remembered that I hadn’t updated Foobar2000 for 100 years, selected it with a button, clicked on “Install” ... Profit!

Previously, I did not update the program, because in my mind I wondered:
- you need to go to Google, search the site (as an option to find the site address in the About program),
- find the latest version on the site,
- compare with your working,
- remember how many bits in your Windows system, select the one you need,
- download,
- run, click on a bunch of buttons "I agree", "Set to folder", "Next".

Not only does it take time, so it is also necessary to switch attention. And here everything is easy and simple. Speed ​​Install does everything for you.
 

Search by category

The search for programs is also made quite intuitively - by categories you can easily find what you need. Just put, perhaps, the screenshot, so as not to be unfounded.


 

Functional

Being lazy, and would not look into functionality. Why do it, if everything worked right away, intuitively? But, since I took up writing an article, I decided to take a look. And for good reason.

First: it turned out, you can create your own list (and not one) of updated programs offline.

Secondly: in the settings you can delete shortcuts from the desktop after installation, this is important to me, because I love a clean desktop.



And the rest of the program continues to delight the purity and clarity of its purpose.
 

What is in the program

Then just copy-paste the data from the press release:

- Hundreds of programs in the database.
- Fully automatic silent installation.
- Constantly updated database of applications.
- Install the latest versions of programs.
- Multilingual interface.
- 32/64 bit installations.
- Create offline installer.
- Create, edit your lists of programs.
- Quick search.
- Friendly interface.
- All programs are downloaded only from official sites (no viruses).
- HTML / XML reports.
- Control the creation of shortcuts during installation.
- Creating executable files with programs.
- Dependency control (.Net, Java, etc).

I confirm about the constant updates. While I was writing this article, the version was updated to 2.0.1.1533.
 

What is planned

- Remote installation on computers on the network.
- Ability to add your software (downloads on schedule and installed).
- A list of installed programs.
- List of programs for updating (updater).
- Rating center (an opportunity to put grades to programs).
- Uninstall programs.
- The base of programs will grow.

From myself I would add that I would be happy to have the opportunity to read positive and negative reviews about programs, such as in the Yandex market.
 

Design

The design of the program is perhaps a bit outdated. 2-3 years. Vindusovskaya nature makes itself felt. Even the official website of the program looks more modern (except for the BB forum, of course).

However, as a person from web design, I think that usability is more important than design. And in this regard, the developers have coped with the task.
 

Payment

The program is not free. But if you pay, you can be sure that you are installing exactly what you are asking for, and not some viruses and trojans.
