I'll keep an eye on this thread to answer any questions too. Thanks!

Awesome product, but still waiting on agents to remotely deploy installations on laptops that never come to a corporate network.

Glad to hear you like it. An agent option is something we're thinking about. Right now some people solve this by having a startup script that runs something like: Ninite.exe /silent c:\ninite\report.txt /updateonly /allusers

But an agent would allow us to build some neat management tools too...

Thanks for all the great work! You've saved my at least 56 years from updating my autoinstall scrips. I don't need them anymore! Cheers!

Good job! I love Ninite. I only wish I could choose where to install things though. I like to keep my less-used utilities off my tiny SSD. Or is that in the Pro version?
