A program for installing all programs on your computer. One click: automatic installation programs

Youtube

Time spent by the user searching and installing necessary programs, for example, when changing the operating system, can amount to hours. What if this the local network with a dozen computers, these procedures can take all day. Fortunately, there are programs in nature that can significantly reduce the duration of this process.

Such software is divided into two categories: programs for automatic installation ready-made distributions and application catalogs downloaded from the Internet.

MultiSet falls into the first category. Program using step-by-step recording user actions creates an application installation script. Then, upon request or automatic mode, installs it on the computer.

The software's arsenal also includes functions for creating bootable media with assemblies recorded on them, including operating system in the composition.

Maestro AutoInstaller

The software is very similar to the previous representative. Maestro AutoInstaller also records the installation and then plays it back, but has a more user-friendly and clear interface, as well as a smaller set additional functions. The program can create distributions with application packages, but is not able to write them to disks and flash drives.

Npackd

Npackd is a powerful catalog program. With its help, you can download and install applications presented in the list, update and delete already installed ones, and add your own programs. Software added to the Npackd repository has every chance of becoming popular, since it ends up in a common directory and can be used by all its users.

DDownloads

DDownloads is another representative of application directories, but with slightly different functions. The operating principle of the program is based on the use of a database containing a huge list of software with detailed description properties and features.

Essentially, DDownloads is an information platform with the ability to download installers from official sites. True, here it is also possible to add your own applications to the database, but they will not end up in the general catalog, but will only be contained in local file DB.

A large number of functions and settings allow you to use the program as a repository of information and links and as a general directory for users of your local network.

We looked at several programs that allow you to find, download and install automatically a large number of applications. You should not neglect this knowledge, since at any moment you may need to reinstall the system, and with it the entire necessary software. To do this, it is not at all necessary to collect a collection of installers: using MultiSet you can write them to boot disk along with Windows or create information base DDownloads data in the local area for quick search necessary links.

To maintain normal operation of your computer, you need to update drivers from time to time, but searching for and installing them manually is tedious and time-consuming. And why? After all, this work is easy to automate. Today we will look at the ten best programs for updating drivers on PCs and laptops of any brands and models.

Intel Driver Update Utility Installer is a proprietary utility for searching and updating drivers for any Intel product (processors, system logic, network devices, drives, server components and other things). Compatible with Windows XP, 7, and newer editions of this system.

The utility automatically recognizes the PC hardware on which it is installed. Checking for new driver versions on the Intel website is done by clicking the “Search” button, downloading and installing at the user’s discretion.

In addition, the Intel Driver Update Utility Installer allows you to find and download drivers for any other Intel devices you choose from the list (“Search manually” option).

The developers warn that the application installs only standard drivers that do not take into account the characteristics of a particular brand of computer. Therefore, before you launch it, you should visit the website of the manufacturer of your PC or laptop and check if there is anything suitable there.

AMD Driver Autodetect

AMD Driver Autodetect is a similar proprietary tool from AMD. Designed to support video card drivers of this brand in current state(except AMD FirePro).

After installation, the utility will monitor and ensure that video drivers are up to date timely update. It automatically detects the model of the video card installed on the PC, as well as the bit depth and version of the operating system. Once launched, it checks to see if the AMD website fresh driver. If there is one, it reports it and offers to download it. To begin the installation, the user just needs to confirm his consent by clicking on the “Install” button.

AMD Driver Autodetect is also available exclusively in Windows version.

NVIDIA Update

NVIDIA Update is a proprietary Windows utility for installing drivers on NVIDIA devices. Like AMD Driver Autodetect, it independently recognizes hardware models and checks for the availability of the latest driver on the manufacturer's website. The decision about installation remains with the user.

DriverPack Solution

DriverPack Solution is a lifesaver for service engineers, system administrators and those who earn extra money by providing installation services for Windows and programs. The application is a huge collection of drivers for devices of various brands and models, as well as a module for installing them.

DriverPack Solution released in two versions - online and offline.

The online distribution is intended for use on a PC that has an Internet connection. Its difference is its small file size (285 Kb). After launch, the program scans Windows for installed drivers and the relevance of their versions, after which it connects to the database (on own server) and performs automatic updates.
The offline distribution (size 10.2 Gb) is intended for installing drivers on a machine not connected to the Internet. In addition to the installer, it includes a database of 960,000 drivers for Windows 7, XP, Vista, 8 (8.1) and 10, both 32 bit and 64 bit. After launch, the scanning module recognizes device types and installs drivers from its own offline database.

The online version of DriverPack Solution is convenient for permanent home use. In addition to monitoring the relevance of drivers, it gives the user the opportunity to automatically install and update individual applications, remove software junk, view a list of equipment, information about the operating system and computer security.

The offline version is an emergency solution. Its task is to select not the best, but simply the appropriate driver to start the device. And in the future update it via the Internet.

DriverPack Solution and the proprietary utilities listed above are completely free.

Driver Genius

Driver Genius is a universal driver management tool. The latest edition of the program is the sixteenth, optimized for Windows 8 and 10, but can also run on older systems.

In addition to updating the versions of installed drivers, Driver Genius can:

Create backup copies of drivers and save them in the form of archives - regular and self-extracting, as well as in the form of an installer program (exe). To restore from a backup, you do not need to use Driver Genius.
Remove unused and faulty drivers.
Display information about computer hardware.

The backup function is a real treasure for those who often reinstall Windows. However, the program itself is not a gift: the cost of one license is $29.95. You can use it for free for only 30 days.

Snappy Driver Installer

Snappy Driver Installer is an application created by one of the developers of DriverPack Solution and has a lot in common with the latter. Also available in two versions: SDI Lite and SDI Full.

The SDI Lite option is a module for recognizing devices and searching for suitable drivers on the Internet. Its size is 3.6 Mb. It does not have its own base.
The SDI Full option is an installation module plus a base (31.6 Gb). Designed to install drivers regardless of Internet access.

Features of Snappy Driver Installer:

Adapted for Windows 10.

Driver Booster

iObit Driver Booster is a fan-favorite app computer games. It is produced in editions Free - free, and Pro - paid. The cost of subscription to the latter is 590 rubles per year.

Driver Booster has one single function - scanning the system for out-of-date drivers and installing updates in one click. And not simple updates, and (according to the developers) tuned to improve the performance of games.

is a free and very simple utility for installing and updating PC drivers on Windows based 7, 8 and 10. Its database includes only original, signed drivers from the official websites of equipment manufacturers.

The application is designed for users with no experience. Russian language support, a minimum of settings and one-button control virtually eliminate the possibility of something being confused or broken. And if new driver turns out to be unsuitable, DriverHub will remove it from the system and return the old one to its place.

All DriverHub features:

Search for missing persons, update outdated drivers And additional software. Automatic installation.
Simple and expert operating mode. In expert mode, the user can select a driver from several available ones; in simple mode, the program itself selects the optimal version.
Daily updating of the driver database.
Storing download history.
Restore - rollback drivers to previous versions.
Displays basic information about your computer.
Launching system Windows utilities from your interface.

DriverMax Free

DriverMax is a free, simple, English-language utility whose main purpose is to update drivers. Unlike others free applications there is one more in it useful option— creating a system rollback point and backup of installed drivers at the user’s discretion. As well as restoring from a backup.

After installation, DriverMax persistently reminds you that it would be a good idea to register on the site and buy a paid license with advanced functions, one of which is fully automatic operation. Annual use starts at $10.39.

Driver Magician

Driver Magician is the last hero of today's review. In the recent past, I had 2 versions, one of which was free. Nowadays there is only a paid one left with a 13-day trial period. The license cost is $29.95.

Russian language in Driver Magician no, but it's not difficult to use. The range of features is approximately the same as in Driver Genius:

Scan and update.
Creation backup copies drivers with the ability to restore both with and without the use of a program (the backup is saved as a zip archive or an installer application).
Uninstalling the driver.
Backup and Restore separate folders user - Favorites Internet Explorer, Desktop and Documents, and - system registry(one file).
Identification of devices unknown to the system.

During the trial period, the program is fully functional. Compatible with any version of Windows.

That's probably all. Choose what you like best and use it.

On the agenda is the question of how to forget about the routine, manual installation programs and take a closer look at more modern technologies for automatic installation of applications. First of all, I decided to do a little monitoring of the topic. I went to old man Google for advice. “Poke” on the very first link and “rested his horns” on . Fate is a villain, the program turned out to be paid. That's why full review it won’t, although, to put it in the language of the TV show “Play Accordion,” MultiSet “has a very good repertoire.”

Automatic installation of programs, while it is absolutely not necessary to be a programmer and you do not need to write a single line of code/script. Creating a bootable external storage for installation software after reinstalling the operating system.
Creating a boot disk, flash drive, external hard drive for automatic installation of Windows without user intervention or Windows with a package of your programs.
Remote automatic installation over a local network.

First of all, download the program and install it. Month can be used trial version, if you like, buy or ask in the comments “When will the end of the world.” Our super “brainbreakers” robot Dashka and her friend Andryushka will definitely answer you. Don't forget about system requirements. Program for this moment works on operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Server, Vista, 7.

In fact, the developers have reduced the entire process of working with the program to a minimum. Moreover, if you open MultiSet and press the F1 button, it will open detailed instructions, reference. Each item and detail is described in detail and it is not entirely clear what can be added.

Now about the main thing. For me, this is creating my own boot disk (CD/DVD) or flash drive with a package of frequently used programs. Reinstalled the system. I inserted the disc into the drive and forgot what it was like to “move” the cursor over numerous buttons and checkboxes. In the “All packages” section, select the right mouse button the desired category and click “New package...”.

In the window that pops up, click on the button with the image of the folder (the empty “Executable file” field).

In Explorer, indicate the full path to .exe program file. In my case, the subject is Setup_Volume2_1_1_3_247.exe (very convenient), click the “OK” button.

A warning window will appear. Close your antivirus and firewall and install the application as usual. Otherwise, errors are possible that will lead to the program not working.

After which the recording of your actions will begin. That is, you install the program as usual. During installation, be sure to uncheck all unnecessary checkboxes so that “useless, unnecessary software” is not installed, if the installer imposes one. As soon as the program window for further configuration appears and you see that the installation process has been successfully completed, click the “Stop” button.

A warning appears where you need to click the “OK” button and rejoice that you have completed the initial stage of learning the MultiSet program. So with each program until you create a complete application package that satisfies you.

All that remains is to create a boot disk (my case) with a software package for automatic installation on any computer. Click on the disk.

Select the folder where the installation kit will be saved.

Using the prompts in the Installation Wizard window, we create a complex, which we subsequently copy to any storage medium (CD, DVD, Flash, Hard Drive). We hide the disk or flash drive in a secluded place and wait new reinstallation systems. More full information as always in the video clip.

Currently, the installation procedure for programs is as simplified as possible; the user only needs to select the installation mode, enter registration data and read license agreement. But when you need to install dozens of programs, the time taken from the user increases significantly; he is forced to stay at the computer all this time just to answer the next question from the installation wizard and click the “Next” button. And if the user is System Administrator, whose responsibilities include installing programs for employees of the organization, this, no doubt, greatly distracts him from his main activities. Is it possible to somehow automate this process? Can! Using the MultiSet program from Almeza.

Once you show MultiSet how to install the software, you will be spared this procedure in the future. All user actions are recorded in batch file(MST), and future program installations will repeat the events of this file. MultiSet itself will launch the installation wizard, select the necessary modes, enter registration data, and click the “Next” and “Finish” buttons. All necessary programs will be installed one after another, freeing the person from the need to constantly be present at the computer.

Program interface

The program window is divided into three areas. The first is a tree of categories into which programs will be grouped. The second is a table with a list of packages of the current category. The third is a log table with the results of installing programs from packages.

When adding a new package, the user is prompted to enter its name, description and select a program installation file. After which a window for recording user actions will appear, and the selected distribution file will begin to be executed. All operations performed by the user - pressing buttons, entering serial numbers, selecting installation modes - will be recorded in the package.

The recording applies to absolutely all events, even those not related to the program being installed. Therefore, if you need to switch to another task during the application installation process, you need to press the pause button in the recording window. The recording will be stopped, and the installation of the program will continue until the first dialog requiring user intervention. The recording window provides one interesting feature - entering text information in the installation dialogs through its own text field. Let's give an example. During installation, the program asks you to enter your last name, initials, and organization name. If you enter all this data without pausing recording, then the next time you install a program from the created package, the same information will be entered, even if you are installing the program for a completely different user. To avoid this, when entering data, you need to click the "Pause" button, enter the required data in the text field that appears and click the Paste button. The following figure shows an example of entering registration data through the text field of the record window. After clicking the Paste button, the word "Pupkin" will be inserted into the Last (Family) Name field.

All text information, entered in this way, will be available for editing in the created package, and during the next installation you will simply need to replace it in advance.

Next time, to install one or more programs, all you need to do is check the boxes in the packages table and run the installation - all programs from the marked packages will be installed.

Now let's look at the properties of the created package. On the first tab "General" of the properties window, specify the package name and executable file installations.

The "System" tab contains such uninteresting information as the operating system in which the package was created, theme and screen resolution.

And the “Inserts” tab stores text data entered through the text field of the recording window. Here they can be edited for the next installation.

The fourth tab, “Scenario,” contains a list of all actions performed by the user. The list is marked - for each event there is a check mark. A checked box means that the action will be performed automatically. If the checkbox is unchecked, the action will not be performed. In this case, the installation program will simply skip it or wait for the user's reaction (for example, to click the "Next" button).

Creation of a universal database

When packages have been created to install all the necessary programs, you can use them to create a universal distribution database on separate media. The first step is that the universal database creation wizard will ask you to select the directory in which it will be located. Next you need to select packages installation programs, which will be included in this database. It often happens that a program distribution consists of a whole set of files. In this case, you can configure so that not only installation file, but also the entire directory in which it is located. AND last step wizard - just press the "Start" button. All necessary files will be copied to the directory of the created database.

In addition to software distributions, you can add a Windows XP distribution to the database. In the processing intended for this purpose, the directory with Windows distribution XP, Universal Database directory, and login information: user name, organization name, computer name (these are already filled in by default), and registration number. All that remains is to click the Create button.

When the program database is ready, it can be written to a separate medium: CD, DVD or flash drive. The next time this media is inserted into the computer's reading device, the database will automatically offer to install all the software packages included in it, and will not require your participation during installation.

Summary

The merit of this software solution difficult to overestimate. MultiSet automates such a seemingly automatic process as installing programs. Now the need to reinstall the system will not frighten the user; absolutely all installation work can be transferred to the computer itself.

Free automatic installer any set of programs for a computer.

Attention! Some antiviruses (for example, AVG) report that the program contains a Trojan. In fact, this is not true (tested by other reputable antiviruses).

It’s just that the automatic installation functions of programs for particularly corrosive antiviruses may look like the action of a Trojan program.

If your antivirus does not allow you to install Easy AutoInstaller Free, it is better to look for some other program for your tasks.

You've probably encountered the need to reinstall your operating system more than once. But it is not the main problem— the main thing is to install all the necessary programs and not forget anything!

From my own experience, I know that installing software sometimes takes twice as long as installing the software itself. Windows installation. Lately Many special disks have appeared with automatic installation of the necessary applications.

Is it possible to create such a disk yourself? Of course! There are many things for this special utilities. But they are either paid or not very stable.

However, among the heap similar programs You can find some pretty decent freeware projects. An example of this is Easy Autoinstaller FREE.

This program is intended for non-commercial home use and allows you to special problems create startup disks with a set of the software we need! It can remember and then reproduce an unlimited number of times all the actions that the user performs when installing the required software.

Unlike the paid version, the free edition cannot create disks containing operating system files, but the functionality of Easy Autoinstaller Free is quite enough:

Comparison of the free version of the autoinstaller Easy Autoinstaller FREE with the paid version of Easy Autoinstaller PRO

As you can see, in addition to the restriction on creating a startup disk with the operating system, free version The ability to change the design of the auto-installation menu, as well as recording the script in “real time,” is blocked.

The latter means that to record the next desired action in the script you will have to press one of function keys(left Shift or Ctrl). But more on that later, for now let’s install the program.

Installation Easy Autoinstaller FREE

The program installer, although in English, is built in a standard way, so after launching it, we will need to click “Next” all the time and agree with all the offers. Once the installation is complete, the program window will appear in front of us:

You can start working, but I would advise you to start by creating a folder somewhere into which we will move the software distributions and drivers we need. This will make it easier for us to create our own car installation disk in future.

Creating an autoinstall script

Now let's proceed directly to creating auto-installation scripts. To begin, click the “Add script” button.

A window will appear in front of us where we should enter the name of the program that we are going to install. After confirming the entry (the “Ok” button), another window will appear in which you will need to specify the version of the application to be installed. In principle, you can enter anything you want into both windows, but for our convenience, we will indicate what is asked :).

After entering the program version, a window will open for selecting the installer for the desired program (remember, we put them in a separate folder;)).

Mark the required executable file (.exe and .msi files are supported) and click the “Open” button. A script recording window will appear in front of us:

At the bottom, in the “Program Description” section, you can enter short information about the program being installed, so that you can later remember what the utility is actually for. Pay attention to the “Options” window (third from the top).

Here you can set the type of future installation of the program: regular “silent” (silent, /s) installation, “silent” with progress display (and without) or completely hidden mode. You don't have to choose any additional parameters and then you will always have access to manual control of the installation.

When all the settings are made, click the “Record” button and proceed to the “demonstrative” installation of the selected program :).

You will know that the script recording process has been activated by the tooltip in the tray, as well as by the icon that appears in the left top corner information window.

In this window you can see the current coordinates of the mouse cursor, the object the cursor is pointing at, the current operation, etc. Important: try not to move the installer window unnecessarily, as this may affect the correct operation of the script!

Now a few words about the methodology for creating an auto-installation script. To record a command, you must press left CTRL or SHIFT.

It happens something like this: we move the mouse cursor to the desired button or menu item and press one of the above keys.

At the same time, SHIFT remembers only mouse clicks, and CRTL can record keystrokes, dots, checkmarks, passwords, paths and the same mouse clicks, so in most cases we press CRTL without thinking. As soon as the button is pressed, your action will be remembered, and you will not need to press mouse keys.

If you need to change the path or enter serial number program, for example, then you need to act as follows. Enter the required data in text string, hover the mouse over this line, press SHIFT, and then CTRL.

When the installation is complete, you will need to stop recording the script. To do this, click right click mouse over the Easy Autoinstaller icon in the tray and select the appropriate item.

Optimizing and saving the script

Now let's check our script for empty entries to optimize it:

If there are none, we can click the “Save script” button. If you need to delete any script item, just double-click on it and confirm the deletion.

Now you can check whether the auto-installation script is working correctly. To do this, let's remove installed program, check it in the list of Easy Autoinstaller scripts and click the “Start” button.

After this, the installation process should start automatically, and above the program icon in the tray you will see a report on the current installation step:

If the installation was successful, then we did everything correctly. Otherwise, you will have to either edit the finished script (the “Edit Script” button), or even rewrite it again.

When all the scripts have been checked, you can (and even need to) save the resulting project. To do this, click the button of the same name in the main program window.

Creating an installation disk

And now comes the most climactic moment - the creation own disk with software! :) To do this, click the “Tools” menu in the main Easy Autoinstaller window and select the only item “Disk Creation Wizard”:

If you followed all the tips described above, then all you have to do is specify the path to the folder in which all the script, distribution and project files are located, and then click the “Create” button.

IN specified folder Several files will be created that will be responsible for loading the menu of our installation disk:

The main one of these files is AutoInstall.exe. By running it, you can see what the menu of our disk will look like:

In fact, everything here is simple and tasteful :). The installation disk window presents a list of programs that can be selected for installation and a “Start” button, which initiates the installation.

Did you admire it? :) Now all that remains is to write the entire contents of the folder directly to a CD, DVD or even to a flash drive, and set necessary programs with automatic installation will always be at your fingertips!

conclusions

Easy Autoinstaller FREE, of course, is slightly inferior in ease of use and functionality commercial products, however, it copes with its main task, if not with a “5”, then certainly with a solid “four”.

In any case, I advise you to familiarize yourself with this program and, just in case, create a disk with the necessary drivers and software. Who knows, maybe one day this disc will really help you out;).
