Generally, I wanted to use the tool as shown in the video: https://youtu.be/tPRv-ATUBe4. But when I run it, a strange thing happens. This chocolatey package manager installs for me. With this command, which I run the program in this video, I also install the chocolatey package manager. I've removed this manager before, and even environment variables, but still nothing.
Not that strange at all, if you have a look at the source, as the tool installs chocolatey if it's not installed.

I just set up linux with WSL and am using anaconda to install standard packages.
It takes incredibly long (the solving environment variables part) and I want to install many things.
Can I run anaconda install on two different shells and be fine (using tmux not that it matters probably)?
I've never played with WSL but in general the package installation systems have a locking system that prevent parallel executions because they'll make the system inconsistent in some situations. So I think it should be fine but useless because the second process will be queued.

I have a mac user who recently upgraded to El Capitan. We've been trying to install Notes on her machine. It installs but when we try and launch it, a window comes up saying that Notes is starting 'please wait' then just closes and nothing happens. I called IBM support but they have not been able to figure this out. They had me look for a 'preferences' file which should be in the Library folder (they say) but that apparently is not getting created. I was able to find a Data directory in 'IBM Notes > Contents>Resources>English.iproj>Data' and it is populated with a bunch of templates so it does seem to be getting installed. The user has admin privs on the machine. Any ideas would be appreciated.
thanks!

Found the problem: Old files that were not removed by the uninstaller were apparently causing the problem. I deleted the Notes folder then the install went ahead. It complained about not having the names.nsf file but I retrieved it from the trash and it worked.

I am looking for a way to remotely install a program to other computer units running Windows on the fly ,without the need of running the installer steps on each computer (next,next,finish...) all over again , .exe installers don't usually have an easy way to do this without using the GUI installer.
a solution that i came up with , running the installer on a single pc
and try to trace each file the installer adds (location,file names,registry files) using FileSystemWatcher then copy these files and send them to the desired hosts that need the program installed with the location of each file will this work ? is there any easier implementation
the problem with FileSystemWatcher that although it detectes which files have been added,edited or deleted its not capable to tell which process did the change ,Why would i need to know ?,other programs depends alot on files and will keep editing them so i need to isolate the installer process to easily study how its functioning and what files are added..
the only way that i know to overcome this problem is developing a file system filter driver...
please give me your opinion or some recommendations on which is the best way to do this ,sorry for my bad english .
Almost every modern installer has some way to perform a silent install. You may need to do some digging to find the answers, or ask the publisher. Try running the installer with /? as a command line switch and see what it tells you.

I was trying to install a virtual machine on my Mac, and I followed the directions in an article from Digital Trends. I have since found additional resources, which have made me concerned about a step in the original instructions that said to type this into the Mac terminal:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
I initially trusted this code because I thought Digital Trends was safe, but is this code safe?
You're running whatever the contents of that URL are as your current user.
For certain definitions of safe, sure, this is fine, as it won't influence other users of your machine. I'd still take a look at the code in the URL to see if it's doing something you'd approve of doing yourself.
In your specific case, it appears to be a boring install of Microsoft binaries, so if you trust Microsoft to not do anything stupid/dangerous to your machine (I don't), you're likely fine.

I'm looking for some package manager for my web server.
I wonder to know is there any program same as YUM for windows 7?
TNX
There is a solution named chocolatay http://chocolatey.org. I never try it personally but I heard about it during puppet windows conf. You can find slides here http://www.slideshare.net/PuppetLabs/puppet-and-windowspuppetconf2013
UPDATE: I'm just trying it atm, and it's really nice solution. Is not yum but it's the closest way to simulate yum on windows.
Moreover if your program you want to install has a msi package it's easy to create your own package.
There is a software called "win-get".
win-get is an automated install system and software repository for Microsoft Windows written in pascal (for the command line client) and php for the online repository. The ideas for its creation come from apt-get and other related tools for the *nix platforms.
The system works by connecting to a link repository. Finding an application and downloading it from the stored link using wget.exe . Then performing the installation routine (silent or standard). And finnally deleting the install file.
