Perhaps this should be moved "Resources & Links."
Re: Chocolatey
Q Where is the download link for this package?
A
This more or less explains why I won't be downloading.

Re: Chocolatey
Open Command promt and past this in:
and press enter. You will get the package in C:\ called Chocolatey. Then open again command promt and e.g. type or past
for Notepad++ and it will install it quickly and efficiently without e.g. toolbars and other thing you dont want. One can almost say that Windows gets a bit more like Linux, in a good way But It's not stealth............shit shit shit !! The paths is:

Old topic update: Chocolatey is currently at v0.9.8.23 (changelog at https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolate ... leaseNotes).
Chocolatey doesn't appear to be portable (it is based on MS Powershell), but the batch file installation method might provide more control for a non-registry dependent setup:

Re: Chocolatey (DotNET package manager)
Topic update: Chocolatey v0.10.5 released (changelog at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/ReleaseNotes).
You might take me for the least likely fan of DotNET stuff, but I must confess Chocolatey has been growing on me...
For two main reasons: recent Windows all come with DotNET by default, which makes Chocolatey installation trivial ("if you care for the distinction, its a script, not a program"; well, not really, after some more researching, it used to be but not anymore... ); and it's powerful enough to keep the embedded Powershell console updated way beyond the default 2.0 version (this is a simple matter of issuing the CLI command 'choco upgrade powershell'; the latest Powershell is v5.1.14409.20170402), minimizing the attack surface for a growing kind of malware (although this carries its own pitfalls with it)...
Current minimum requirements are DotNET v4 and Powershell v2.0 -- and you'll need administrator privileges.

Re: ChocolateyGUI
As a further tip, even if you're not into CLI tools, you can easily install ChocolateyGUI (https://chocolatey.org/packages/ChocolateyGUI) with the command detailed next to end up with something in your Windows Start menu akin to the Software Center found on many Linux distros...
