> Java, Flash Player (both the IE and non-IE version), Defragler, CCleaner, 
> Firefox, etc.  The Web site presents very accessible check boxes which 
> will allow you to pick the software that you want to install.  When you're 
> done checking off what you want go to the "get installer" button and press 
> enter.  Your browser will download a tiny executable file, clearly named, 
> such as Ninite java flash firefox installer.exe.  Run this file and the 
> programs you chose will quickly download and will silently install.  You 
> can place this custom installer on a thumb drive and use it at any time, 
> even if you already have the software and just want to update it quickly. 
> I realize that the downside of this type of installation is that you don't 
> have control over which options are selected but it's especially nice if 
> you're working on a client's machine and want to ensure that the Java and 
> Flash players are up-to-date.  Instead of opening the browser, going to 
> the appropriate page, finding the download link and then doing the install 
> this will happen within less than a minute.  If you regularly install 
> software on users' machines this service will save you lots of time.
