Ninite is a Web service that consolidates applications into a single installer for you to download. Simply pick the apps you want, then sStart your customized installer. Ninite works in the background 100 percent hands-free.

Ninite currently includes 58 freeware and shareware applications in 12 categories: Developer Tools, Compression, Utilities, Web Browsers, Messaging, Media, Imaging, Documents, Anti-Virus, Runtimes, File Sharing, and Other.

Ninite is a package management system offering that lets users automatically install popular applications for their Windows operating system.[3] It allows users to make a selection from a list of applications and bundles the selection into a single installer package. It is free for personal use. A paid version, Ninite Pro, is available for professional use. Alternatively, a cheaper albeit less robust version of Ninite Pro known as Ninite Updater is available for users who want the ability of one-click updates without the other features offered by Ninite Pro.

Ninite works on Windows XP and later. It presents the user with a list of programs and generates a custom installer executable based on the user's selection.[5] When run, the installer downloads and installs the selected programs. Ninite's installer always downloads the latest version of the program. This is accomplished by downloading a regularly-updated list of applications and their download URLs from the Ninite servers each time the program is run.
