Normally I like to showcase freeware for Windows Mobile devices. But Teksoft's AirWizard is well worth paying for if you have to constantly set up Windows Mobile devices after a hard reset. AirWizard lets you take a group of installer files and pack them together into one nice big installer. When would this come in handy? Say for example that you write about PDA software for a technology blog and ...

InstallPad is a brilliant open source app for Windows that lets you automate the download and installation of entire suites of programs. InstallPad relies on "application lists," which are XML files that tell it where to download the programs and how to install them. It has a built-in GUI for building and editing an application list (or you can edit XML by hand if you like), and you can select ...

I have a large project for work that I have been developing for over three years now. A while back I needed a way to quickly and easily install the application on a user's PC's from a remote location.

I'd been playing with this to see what one looks like, and how it performs. It's surprisingly hard to find a "pure" install in the wild, since so many of us get OEM versions of Windows, replete ...

A reader mentioned nLite ages ago, back when I was still tinkering with a "virgin" XP install. I didn't need it then, since I really wanted whatever gets installed by default with a new XP installation. But now I'm in a situation where I need to install XP, but don't need certain components. More importantly, I need to install a couple of things right off the bat, and I'd really like to ...

I absolutely live by Pod2Go from Kainjow Software. RSS feeds, Stickies, weather, etc. all sync up on my iPod now, pretty-as-you-please. But the lone developer of Pod2Go isn't content to just make one kickin' app, oh no. He's gone and made several lately, including a Windows screensaver (simulates the XP logo saver on your Mac, for fun I guess), and my new favorite: an easy-to-use iPodLinux ...
