Ask HN: Simple setup for a new Windows machine

1 points by onehp ↗ HN
I'm in the process of setting up and new windows box and about to reach that stage where I end up trawling websites for the installers of all my favourite development tools. This is something I really don't want to do.

Does anyone know of a way of automating this process? I'm thinking along the lines of something like puppet for Windows.

I have found http://chocolatey.org/ that provides an apt-get like function for Windows but there are some key 'packages' not there, Chrome and Java to name just two.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
