I'm sure you're probably aware, but just in case:
Ninite.com is a great resource for getting tools like this (and things like Chrome, Firefox, etc) without all of the packaged adware.
I use it almost exclusively to get all of my dev tools on a Windows machine.
- piyush_soni 11y agoWow. I didn't know about it, thanks!
- junto 11y agoIf you already have some of those app installed, do you still need to select them on the install page or not?
- mdekkers 11y agoyeah you get a custom installer
- jlgaddis 11y agoNot really. I typically use the Ninite installer on a clean, freshly installed Windows machine because the installer can be ran again in the future to update those same apps. Chrome/Firefox/etc. will auto-update themselves but for those apps that don't, they will be updated to the latest version if/when you re-run the same installer that you originally downloaded.
- tomswartz07 11y agoIf you already have them installed, Ninite will detect that and update them (if needed). It makes it handy to keep the 'installer' that you download, as it will go through and update all of the listed apps later on.
- squeaky-clean 11y agoIf you already have them installed, you do not have to select them, but Ninite will update them to their latest versions if you do. You can also keep the installer it gives you and re-run it later to update the programs.
- mdekkers 11y agoninite are awesome, and the paid service is well worth it. Disclaimer and full disclosure: I am not affiliated with them, just a happy user for many years
