Ninite Updater is a separate program that you can run on any Windows PC, regardless of whether you used the Ninite installer or not. Yeah, the top two slots in my roundup come from the same company. This makes it a real timesaver whether you're setting up a new PC or cleaning up an old one. The Ninite installer upgrades programs if it detects than an older version is installed, and it skips the installation if the program is already up to date. You see a progress dialog box, but you don't have to do anything else. Ninite chooses the appropriate version for your system architecture, downloads the most recent copy, and installs it silently. ![]() The company has remained true to its goal of making the installation process as easy and safe as possible for all the programs on that list. The Ninite website now includes 85 apps in 12 categories. I selected some boxes on a web page, clicked the Get Installer button, and ran that one executable file to install all 13 programs. No toolbars or unnecessary add-ins were slipped into the installation. I wasn't pestered with annoying dialog boxes. The bottom half shows Ninite doing all the work for me. The top half of the screenshot above is a view from the Windows 7 Control Panel showing me the names and other details of 13 programs I installed today.
