If for some reason you need to, you can force reinstallation using the /repair command line switch. Running the downloaded installer produces a progress display which you can optionally expand to show the details as the various packages are installed or updated. With the Pro version you also get Ninite One, a client-side application that provides the same application selection options and builds the installer without having to launch a Web browser. why not just call it "Ninite" or allow the user to name it before downloading? Or how about naming the installer something like "Ninite-ACGHD" where the latter part of the name encodes the applications selected? With that method running the installer with a command line switch could then identify the applications selected. When you've finished making your selections an installer is downloaded that is named for some, but not all, of the packages you choose for example, although my application selection list was much longer, my download was named "Ninite AdAware Air Audacity Auslogics AVG CCleaner Installer.exe." To use Ninite, you navigate your Web browser to the service's home page for Windows or Linux and select which applications and tools you want to install and/or update. Still seems somewhat random.Īnyway, there are two versions of however it is pronounced: a free version and a Pro version with additional features that is also, or so it is claimed, faster due to enhanced caching. The company website contends that it should be pronounced "nin-ite" but, in my humble opinion, that's not actually better and it isn't how most people will pronounce it when they see the name for the first time. I have to mention the product name, "Ninite." I do not like it. Ninite was released 18 months ago and, since I first looked at it about a year ago, has matured and has been expanded in terms of the number of software titles it can manage.
