The chances that a computer user will have to rebuild a system at some point is fairly high. There are multiple reasons why this might be necessary – an unrecoverable malware infection; system file corruption; system upgrade; and more.
Earlier this month, I wrote about a system rebuild on one of my personal machines following the expiry of Windows 7 RC. A long boring reinstall of all the free applications I’m use to running on that machine, was made easier, and less time consuming, by running a very neat software solution, Ninite.
Ninite, allowed me to install selected applications, from a generous listing of freeware applications, in one single pass.
ZeuAPP is a relatively similar type of application installation tool (for the purists out there, yes, there are differences), which can make it much easier to download a host of freeware applications.
Following the installation of this portable application, you will be presented with the following screen from which you can choose a wide range of applications running from Archivers, through Graphic applications, to Utilities, and more.
As the graphics illustrates, you have a choice of visiting the selected application’s Web Site or, downloading the application straightaway.
Following your successful download, the application’s installer package is automatically launched, given you a “no fuss”, “no muss”, installation.
Applications included:
Archivers: 7-Zip, Peazip, TUGzip, IZarc, Universal Extractor.
Audio: Audacity, JetAudio, musikCube, Aimp
Video: Miro, VLC media player, Mplayer, GOM, Winamp
Chat-IM: Skype ,Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Pidgin, ICQ, aMSN, Miranda IM, Yahoo! Messenger 10
Internet: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Maxthon, Avant Browser, Flock, Thunderbird3,
Download Manager: FlashGet download manager, YeahReader, RSSOwl, WinSCP, FileZilla
CD Burners: CDBurnerXP, ImgBurn
P2P-File Sharing: uTorrent, Gnucleus, Cabos, Vuze, BitComet, eMule, DC ++, Frostwire
Games: YoFrankie!, Cube 2, SuperTuxKart, Freeciv, World of Padman
Graphic: Blender, Gimp, Paint.NET, IrfanView, PhotoFiltre, Picasa, XnView, Easy Thumbnails
Office: KomoZer, Freemind, Notepad++, Xe macs, OpenOffice, AbiWord, Adobe Reader, Bluefish

Hey Liam,
It’s a neat app. All those goodies in one place.

Hey Bill,
Nothing worse than having to reinstall everything on a computer. I will definitely be trying out this new app.
Cheers
Hey Mal,
I agree – anything that saves time like this app does, is just “golden”. Especially since it can be installed on a USB drive.
Best,
Bill
Hi Bill,
As the add says, resistance is useless.
I have really tried this week to cut down on downloads but you got me finally, although I have put it on my stick this time which technically doesn’t count does it?
Cheers
John
Hey John,
Gotcha huh? lol I wondered where you’d been. Doesn’t count if it’s on your stick time; so you’re OK.
Best,
Bill

Hey David,
Thank you very much for this.
I’m right in the middle of testing this app, and should have a review up shortly. Looks very promising.
Best,
Bill
Do they frequently update the list of the proposed applications in ZeuAPP.
Hey Azziz.
A good question.
It seems rather than an update applet, the developers release a new version of the main application. There has to be a better way I would think. But…..
Bill
Great tips and ideas I will have to remeber to use these one day. Thanks
