Anybody have any suggestions on how to do this on a Windows PC? I like Ninite[1] a lot but I would prefer something more customizable. [1]: https://ninite.com/

Windows Management Framework 5.0 Preview [1] contains early versions of Microsoft's OneGet and PowerShellGet. OneGet can install applications from repositories, using any number of providers. The preview version comes with a version of Chocolatey [2] built in managed code (C#) instead of PowerShell, but it supports the same Chocolatey gallery (a repository of software packages) and protocol. PowerShellGet [3] can install PowerShell modules (e.g. make new Cmdlets available on the PowerShell command line). The modules can be delivered as scripts or as compiled .NET assemblies. By default PowerShellGet is configured to use a (closed preview) repository [4], which makes it not very usable, but it's interesting to know what direction it is headed. As a more practical alternative to PowerShellGet, have a look at PSGet [4], a PowerShell module for installing PowerShell modules, with its own dedicated repository. Hopefully Microsoft's PowerShellGet will support PSGet as a provider in the future as well, the names are certainly confusing. Desired State Configuration (DSC) [6] is a new (Windows 8.1) capability to configure Windows using a declarative syntax extension of PowerShell v4. It can set registry keys, create files and directories, enable Windows Features, and more. DSC 'resources' are PowerShell modules, so DSC's capabilities can be extended, see this GitHub repository [5] for examples. Alternatively, have a look at Boxstarter [7]. It can do installation and configuration, and you can host your 'starter script' online and launch it with a single command. Boxstarter will take care of all Windows restarts that might be necessary along the way.

For dotfiles deploying I wrote my own script that works on both *nix and windows: https://github.com/berdario/dotfiles/blob/master/deploy.py https://github.com/berdario/dotfiles/blob/master/deploy.py On windows I'm forced to do some nasty tricks (i.e.: reloading the script with admin user, and if any exception happens I output the stacktrace on a tkinter textarea, since the terminal is not available anymore) (to actually install software, I use chocolatey, but it's really hit and miss...)

I've been working on a chocolately script for next time I need to setup a windows machine. This is what I've got so far: @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin # tools choco install dropbox choco install gow choco install googledrive # graphics choco install inkscape choco install colorpic choco install blender choco install gimp # IDEs choco install eclipse choco install VisualStudio2012Professional # editors choco install atom choco install lighttable choco install ProgrammersNotepad # browsers choco install firefox choco install GoogleChrome # languages choco install jdk8 choco install lein choco install groovy choco install python choco install ruby # build choco install ant choco install gradle choco install maven choco install puppet choco install wixtoolset # servers choco install nodejs.install choco install Tomcat # databases choco install mysql choco install mysql.workbench choco install toad.mysql # scm choco install git.install choco install TortoiseGit choco install GitHub choco install svn choco install tortoisesvn choco install ankhsvn
