VS2005 Power Toys Pack Installer

CodePlexWelcome to the Power Toys Pack Installer

"The Pack Installer is a tool that will let you see the latest Power Toys for Visual Studio, and other great developer oriented tools. It allows you to easily mark any tool or set of tools for download and installation, and streamline the installation process.

...

In addition to being a tool for us to help distribute the Power Toys for Visual Studio the Pack Installer is a great starting point for your own software distribution tool. Although the current version uses openly available files to download and install, the code could be easily modified to connect to a secure software repository instead.

The JPK Experience - Pack Installer Feed Update

"The list of tools included by the Pack Installer has been updated this week to include some cool new updates to some popular tools.  Now included are:

  • ILMerge 2.0.7.0102, this is an update from the 2.0.6 release
  • XML Notepad 2007, this is an updated version of the XML Notepad 2006 utility.  This includes a couple of new features as well as a nice list of bug fixes.  More details can be found here.
  • Resource Refactoring Tool Beta, moving up from our previous Alpha release, the Beta is a good step towards having a full 1.0 release.
  • TFS Administration Tool 1.2, this updated release includes the ability to administer TFS installations configured to use only SSL." [Post leached in full]

I just found the cool Pack Installer project yesterday... It looks like a great way to keep my VS Power Toys up to date.
