      Does the Chocolatey version remove all the crap ware their normal install dragged along?

      FileZilla has no crapware.

        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.

                            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.

                                          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.
