Batch download programs- this is something that until recently only a select few advanced users knew about.
Previously download software from different developers it was possible with the help of English-language services, known mainly to system administrators and geeks.
Now we have InstallPack, a Russian-language application for batch downloading programs, designed for users of any level.

Other questions about InstallPack
Step 1
Download the InstallPack application. You can do it from the official site: https://installpack.net/ .
Step 2
We launch the application and get acquainted with the interface. In the main window - a list of programs available for download. They can be sorted alphabetically by clicking on the "Name" tab, or by category by clicking on the "Category" tab, respectively. The last option will certainly help when you know what the program is for, but don't remember what it's called. Opposite each of the applications, you can also see its rating, price, size and a brief description.
Step 3
Let's look at the ready-made sets of programs by going to dropdown, where "TOP-100" is selected by default. Here you should pay attention to the "Must have" package - it will be especially useful after reinstalling windows. In the Patriot package you will find software from Russian developers. As for the rest, their names speak for themselves.
Step 4
For convenience and saving time, we use search string located in the upper left corner of the interface. It is enough to start typing the first letters of the program, and you will immediately see it at the very top of the list. For example, if you set out to find Opera browser, type the Latin "op" on the keyboard - this will be enough.
Step 5
We mark the programs we need with a tick. You can also put a checkmark next to the inscription " Silent Installation” - in this way, we will save ourselves from notifications, which, as a rule, come from the installation wizard during installation. Programs will start installing one by one to minimize the impact on the processor load
Step 6
Finally, close InstallPack and make sure that the application shortcut is saved on the Desktop. Just in case, we recommend that you save InstallPack to a USB flash drive as well - since the application starts without installation, it can also be used as a portable version. We will be able to quickly and conveniently install several programs at once in various situations, whether it is reinstalling the system, buying a new computer, or working on a new project.
Finally, we note that all programs downloaded via InstallPack are delivered in latest versions. Since they are checked for viruses and other malicious components, their installation is absolutely safe.
As well as other programs:
AllMyApps
AllMyApps has a huge database of both free and paid apps. You can create a free account on the site, and then choose the programs you are interested in. After that, you must install a special AllMyApps client, which, in turn, will download and install all the programs you have chosen on its own. In addition, the client can detect all the software you have installed and update it as needed.
My personal favorite in this review. You don't even need to register to use Ninite's services. You just need to mark the programs for installation on the site, and then download the specially generated installer for you, which will automatically install all the programs you need in batch mode. There are not so many of them in the service database, but everything necessary and popular is available here. And the most important thing in the work of Ninite is its reliability and speed.
This small program allows you to automatically install in "silent mode", that is, without user intervention, a fairly wide range of programs. You will need to install Speed Install on your computer, mark the programs you need and click the button Install. An interesting feature of the program is the ability to create "offline installers", which can be useful if you need to service a computer that does not have access to the network.
This program tries to mimic the functions of the Linux package manager. With its help, you can quickly install any of the programs available in the database, update or remove existing software. A feature of Npackd is the ability to install old versions of programs, so if you don’t like updating some application, then you can roll back to previous version. Currently, Npacd is aware of the existence of more than 300 software products.
Another great package manager for Windows, iPhone and Android. With it, you can easily download, install, update and remove applications from your device. All programs, and there are about 150 of them for the PC, are conveniently divided into categories with the ability to quickly search. Having ticked the necessary programs, you only need to click on the button Install, after which you can drink coffee - FreeApps will perform all further operations on its own.
Although Windows operating systems do not provide a single interface for managing software, just as it is done in Linux, there are still quite decent third party solutions. With their help, you can greatly facilitate and speed up the process of installing, updating or uninstalling programs on your computer.
Programs are an integral part of working on a PC. With their help, various tasks are performed, from simple ones, such as obtaining information about the system, to the most complex ones, such as graphics and video processing. In this article, we will tell you how to search for the necessary programs and download them from the global network.
In order to download the program to your computer, you first need to find it on the Internet. Next, we will discuss the two search options, as well as explore ways to directly download.
Option 1: Our website
Our site contains a huge number of reviews of various programs, most of which contain links to official pages developers. The advantage of this method is that you can not only download the program, but also familiarize yourself with its functionality.
Option 2: Search engines
If suddenly on our site it was not desired program, you will need to seek help from search engine, Yandex or Google. The principle of operation is about the same.
So, we found the program, now let's talk about download methods.
Download methods
There are two ways to download programs, however, like other files:
- Direct, using the browser.
- Using special software.
Method 1: Browser
Everything is simple here: click on the link or download button and wait for the process to complete. The fact that the download has begun is indicated by an alert in the lower left corner or upper right corner showing progress or a special dialog box, it all depends on which browser you are using.
Next, the file goes into the download folder. If you haven't configured anything in the browser, this will be the user's standard download directory. If configured, then you need to look for the file in the directory that you yourself specified in the web browser settings.
Method 2: Programs
The advantage of such software over the browser is to support multi-threaded download of files by splitting the latter into parts. This approach allows you to carry out several downloads at once at maximum speed. In addition, the programs support resume and have other useful features. One of their representatives is
Before, how to install the program make sure all other programs and documents are closed. The result of the installation is not always predictable and one must be prepared for surprises.
1. It does not matter where and how the program came to you, anyway, try not to install it from the medium on which it is recorded. Make a temporary directory on your hard drive (a folder - not on the desktop) and copy the distribution kit there ( setup files). Install the program from hard drive. True, this is not always possible.
There are copy-protected programs that require that they be installed from the media on which they are distributed. If you can't install them from your hard drive, there's nothing you can do, but at least check by copying for defects in the recording to avoid an incomplete installation.
2. How to install a program that came from the Internet or a CD-ROM collection, it can be contained in a single archive file. Before installation, this file must be unzipped (unpacked). On the Internet, most archives are in the ZIP format. In collections on discs, they can be in the ARJ, ZIP, RAR format. We will talk about working with archives in the following articles.
Programs can also be delivered in so-called self-extracting archives with the EXE name extension. To unpack such an archive, you just need to run (open) the file. It is good to do this in some temporary folder, for example C:\TEMP(or similar).
I prefer to create folders for such cases C:\T, C:\TT, C:\TTT etc. When the program is installed and checked, a decision is made what to do with its temporary folder. If the program is not needed, its folder with the archive is deleted, bypassing Shopping cart (shift+del). If the program is useful and remains on the computer, its archive is moved to the folder C:\DISTRIB where distribution copies of installed programs are stored.
3. Majority modern programs contain the Setup.exe file, the launch of which starts the installation. However, do not rush to do it. Well, if the installation of the program is performed Windows tools- then it will be easier to remove the program.
Application installer Windows before launched with the command: Start > Settings > Add or Remove Programs. Here, on the Add/Remove tab (In Windows 7, Start>Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features), there is a list of programs previously installed with the knowledge of the operating system. You can count on the fact that these programs will subsequently be able to be correctly removed, not all installed applications MS-DOS, some Windows applications, the installation of which was started by clicking on the Setup icon, bypassing this window, as well as some extremely rare Windows applications that do not require installation. You can simply copy them to the desired folder, create an icon for them and run.
Removing such applications is also extremely simple - the working directory is deleted, and that's it! Users really appreciate such user-friendly programs, but such an approach requires special efforts from programmers, and not everyone's brains are tuned for the benefit of the user.
The Install button is used to install programs. It launches the Wizard that performs the installation in silent mode.
In Windows 7 - Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Program Installation, as a result, such a window opens, in which it is clearly written in detail that all actions for installing programs take place automatically.
1. Generally speaking, the Setup Wizard assumes that you are installing from a floppy disk or CD. We have already discussed that it is better to install from a hard drive. In the first dialog box of the Wizard, simply click the Next button.
2. In the second dialog box there is a line for entering the access path to the installer (usually a device driver). Remembering this path, and then entering it from the keyboard is a useless exercise. It is easier to use the Browse button, find desired file, press the Open button - and the path will be automatically written to the command line.
3. It remains only to click the Finish button - and the installation of the program will begin. After installation is complete, you often need to restart your computer. Since all your programs and documents must be closed, feel free to agree to a reboot. If any programs are open, then first - save the data.
At this stage, you can finish the review, because now you know how right install program, avoiding possible installation failures.
P.S. Like an operating room calendar Windows systems associated with the program BIOS and what CMOS memory is for, you can find out.

How to copy an application from a computer to a smartphone and install it? Is it necessary to go to Google Play(market)? The answers to these questions are in our article.
What if the traffic is on mobile internet very little, but you need to urgently download and install the application on mobile device with Android OS? It would probably be nice to download a program or game on a regular Personal Computer, and then just copy it to your smartphone and launch it there.
We will give several convenient ways to install applications on Android from a computer.
We will give a couple of convenient ways to install applications on Android from a computer.
Method 1. We bring everything down
After you download this handy utility to your PC, you will have an enviable opportunity to install applications on Android devices directly from your computer. This software is perfectly compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
All you need is to run the program and connect your phone or tablet via USB. In the smartphone settings menu, we enter the "Security" section ("Applications" for older versions of the OS), where we put a tick in front of " unknown sources».
In English: Settings - Application Settings (Security) - Unknown Sources.
Next, double-click on the *.apk file previously downloaded to the computer, after which the installation will be completed.
If after that the installation did not take place, enter the smartphone settings, select "For Developers" and check the box next to "USB Debugging".
For the program to work, sometimes you may need to install special drivers, which you can download for free from the developer's website.
By the way, you can download an Android application that a priori comes with such an extension not only on Google Market. You will find popular games and programs for smartphones based on the above operating system on our website.
The only drawback is that this program does not work with all phone models. And if your device ended up in a small number of such unfortunate smartphones, then another method will suit you, revealing how to install programs on Android from a computer.
Method 2. Installing the application through the built-in browser
In order for method number three to work, we need to install file manager. We choose ES Explorer, but you can install any other.
Why do we say "for the next method to work"? Due to the fact that for permanent use this method too long and inconvenient, and by installing the proposed application, everything will be done in a few clicks.
So, we connect the device to the computer and copy the apk file to the root of the memory card. Next, disconnect the cord, launch the browser and enter in address bar content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/AppName.apk or
file:///sdcard/ApplicationName.apk (depending on your OS version).
Method 3. Working for ES Explorer
For this method, we need useful program. This is a file manager that allows you to view all the folders on your smartphone or tablet. But the main thing is that it can be used to copy or move files from the communicator's memory to an SD card and vice versa, as well as install games and programs on an Android tablet or smartphone.
The algorithm of actions is as follows:
1. install the ES Explorer program on your smartphone;
2. connect the smartphone to the PC and copy the necessary apk file from the computer to the smartphone's memory;
3. disconnect the device from the computer and launch ES Explorer in the smartphone itself, find the apk file and double-click on it to install the program.
Method 4Gmail not only receives mail
This is a very convenient and original way to install a program on Android, which only a few users know about, but, evaluating it by complexity, we can say that it is disgracefully easy.
So, we send a message to our gmail mail by attaching the apk file to the letter. Having opened it through the Gmail application, we will see that the “Install” button has appeared opposite the attached file (the application automatically detects the file).
By clicking on the button, you will download and install the application.
Important
Note that if you are installing applications not from GooglePlay, a window will appear on the smartphone screen: “Installation blocked”.
The fact is that for security reasons, installation of applications from unknown sources is prohibited on the device. In this case, we do the same as at the beginning of the first method.
Choose: Settings - Personal (Security) - Unknown sources. After that, such an operation as installing a game on Android from a computer or other methods will become quite accessible.
If you have just now decided to switch from a push-button mobile phone to a smartphone that works with Android help, then some difficulties await you. It is possible that for the first time you will think about how to install the program. Of course, you can limit yourself to pre-installed applications. But soon enough you will exhaust their potential, you will want more. Therefore, we recommend that you read this article - it tells about all the ways to install applications.
Google, at the dawn of its operating system, tried to facilitate installation additional applications. To do this, the American giant created a separate online store called Google Play. Access to it is carried out using the program Play market , which is available on almost every smartphone that operates under Android control. It is not available only on the cheapest devices from anonymous Chinese companies that have not undergone special testing and licensing.
Also, to access the online store you will need Google account. It will not be difficult to create it, as you will see if you read our separate material. Recommended for different smartphones use the same account, in which case it is much easier to find and install your favorite applications.
Installing the application on Android through Google Play is very simple. To do this, do the following:
Step 1. Go to Play market. You will find the icon of this client on the desktop or, in extreme cases, in the menu.
Step 2 You will be taken to home page Google play. You can try to find the application of interest with its help, or use the search bar located at the very top.
Step 3 When you get to the page of the program or game - click on the green button " Install". The download process will immediately start, after which the installation will begin. If you are going to install the game, then you may be offered to download it via Wi-Fi in order to save bandwidth. Whether you agree with this is up to you.
Using a computer and its browser
Not everyone knows about it, but Google Play supports remote installation programs and games. This means that you do not have to enter the online store from the smartphone or tablet on which the application you need will be installed. You can use a computer instead. It doesn't matter which one operating system installed on it - Windows, Mac OS or Chrome OS. All you need is an internet browser on your PC. With it, you must do the following:
Step 8 Go to the folder " Downloads» (Download).
Step 9 Click on the APK file.
Step 10 Click on the button " Install". Grant the app all permissions if it requires it.
This completes the installation. The icon will not appear on the desktop - you will have to look for it in the menu. As for the APK file in the folder " Downloads', it can now be deleted.
Using a card reader and other methods
If the USB connection does not suit you, then you can use other methods to transfer the APK file. For example, you can remove the memory card from the device and insert it into the card reader. If you have it, then you should be able to use it, and therefore we will not describe the entire procedure.
Also you can use wireless connection. For example, the application is ideal for these purposes. airdroid, which is distributed on Google Play for free. You can read about this and other methods of connecting to a computer in the article " How to sync Android with PC ».
Installing the application on the memory card
If you have a memory card installed, then many applications will automatically be installed on it. The exception is special utilities, which should only be in the built-in memory.
At any time, you can move applications to the SD card. This is done as follows:
Step 1. Go to " Settings».
Step 2 Go to the section " Application Manager". It may also be referred to as " Applications". If you have a tablet, then first you need to move to the tab " Are common».
Step 3 Go to the tab " SD memory card". All programs and games that can be moved to external memory are displayed here.
Step 4 Click on the application you wish to move. In the menu that opens, click on the " To SD memory card". It may also be referred to as " To SD card».
It remains only to wait for the result!
