Hello everyone) We will talk about a program like InstallPack, which is a downloader for popular software. Honestly, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this program came to your computer by accident or appeared on its own out of nowhere. The fact is that there seems to be nothing dangerous in the program, well, at least I didn’t find it, but on the other hand, I don’t see any great benefit in it either.
So what does InstallPack do? This program allows you to download and install popular programs for your computer (there seem to be more than 700 programs), you don’t need to go to any sites, you don’t need to open a browser, you just need to run this InstallPack and select the desired programs by ticking the boxes. Everything seems to be fine, everything is simple and everything is clear, isn’t it? But there is another interesting point. InstallPack also installs the programs itself! Does this mean that some action is already being applied to them? That is, if you tried to automate the installation of software, then you definitely thought about the personal benefit from this, so to speak... Well, I think you understand..)
So these are the things. You can easily download all popular programs yourself, especially since launching a browser and searching for a program is not such a difficult task on a modern computer, would you agree? And you don’t install programs every day, right? Well, that is, such a phenomenon as installing prog, then such a phenomenon cannot be called frequent. Therefore, there is some benefit from InstallPack, but not very much...)
I downloaded this program, there is no need to install it, it started like that for me. This is what the InstallPack looks like:
As you can see, check the boxes for those programs that you need and then click the Next button and that’s it. At the top you can select which programs to download, that is, categories, and there is also a checkbox for Silent installation, so that the programs will install themselves:
You can also look for programs, in general, everything seems to be convenient and well done, but honestly, I still don’t have confidence in the program.. I’ve already seen many programs and many have their own not very pleasant jokes..)
Well, let's test the program? As a test, I'll try to download and install the OpenOffice office suite via InstallPack and see if the installation is actually automatic. The fact is that before I somehow used the InstallPack program, so, I’ll tell you that not all programs were installed automatically. Well, okay, I typed the word Open into the search, two programs appeared, one of them is what I need, and I put a tick on it:
What a joke! If anything, there are checkboxes at the bottom to prevent Opera from being installed, so uncheck them and everything will be fine..)
OpenOffice has started to load:
Then it started to install:
So I’ll say right away that OpenOffice installed itself, that is, I didn’t need to click anything, everything installed itself quickly and clearly. Well, then the status of the program in InstallPack changed to Completed:
An OpenOffice shortcut appeared on the desktop:
Well, what can I say? In principle, I liked the fact that the program works, so to speak, as clearly as a clock. I chose OpenOffice, then clicked the Next button, then a bug appeared in the form of installing Opera, but there are checkboxes at the bottom and you can easily refuse, and then exactly what everything happened clearly: OpenOffice downloaded and then installed itself, voila!)
What do I personally not like about InstallPack? Well, probably only that I don’t know where the programs are downloaded from, and as I understand it, after you click the Next button, you may be prompted to download another program (in my case it was Opera). And so, in principle, there seem to be no downsides... There seems to be no advertising either, or I simply didn’t notice it.
By the way, I later downloaded InstallPack again, but I already saved it, that is, I didn’t open it right away, but saved it to my desktop. Then I launched it and it created a folder next to it called InstallPack_Downloads, this is probably for downloaded programs. InstallPack itself runs under the mshta.exe process, there’s nothing wrong with that, you just know what all this tells me? In short, it turns out that the InstallPack program is a shell, everything inside it is a website. It seems so, I could be wrong, but there is definitely something there! So when I looked in the manager where the InstallPack.exe process was running from (right-click on the process and select Open storage location), this folder opened for me:
C:\Users\VirtMachine\AppData\Local\Temp\ip
Only where VirtMachine is, then of course you will have a computer name, that is, an account. Well, in this folder there are html files (I highlighted them with a frame), they can be opened in a browser, so you can see what’s there. Well, that’s right, there’s nothing criminal or viral here, it’s just a note to you, sometimes I’m interested in seeing this, so to speak, what’s inside the program, what it’s made of, how everything works...)
I’ll also say that based on the reviews it’s impossible to say that InstallPack is some kind of suspicious program, so I’ll have to say this to each their own. Today it is also not entirely clear about the MediaGet program whether it is normal or dangerous, since some anti-virus utilities find a virus inside it, although the program itself seems to be normal and useful..
Well guys, everything seems to be done? I hope that everything here was clear to you and that this information was useful! Good luck in life and may everything go well for you)
14.11.2016InstallPack application for quickly and conveniently downloading several programs onto your PC at the same time. Allows you to install the latest versions of software from different developers, bypassing launching the browser.
Instal Pak greatly simplifies the search and download of software, which is especially useful after reinstalling Windows or buying a new computer. You can download all the necessary programs with one click, be it a browser, antivirus, video player, audio editor, disc recorder or torrent client.
The application does not require installation - it can be launched, including from a flash drive. This is especially convenient when you want to install all the necessary programs “in one fell swoop,” for example, for your aunt or classmate.
By default, the list of programs is presented in alphabetical order. But you don’t have to scroll to find the software you’re interested in—just start typing the name of the program in the search bar, and it will immediately appear at the very top. To display all ticked programs in one row, click “Name”.
However, you can also sort the list by category - to do this, use the corresponding tab. In addition, the authors of InstallPack offer to download ready-made packages for all occasions. The “Must Have” pack will be an excellent choice after reinstalling the system or buying a new computer, and “Patriot” will certainly appeal to those who prefer domestic developments.
Possibilities:
- an impressive selection of programs from different developers;
- search by name;
- sorting by categories;
- brief description of the programs.
Advantages:
- the latest versions of programs;
- all software available in the list has been checked for viruses;
- You can download programs for free, without registering or sending SMS.
Things to work on:
- the application does not provide for creating a shortcut on the Desktop or in the Quick Launch panel.
Install Pack is distinguished by its excellent speed and user-friendly interface, which will be easy to understand even for a less experienced user. The ability to customize the display of the list allows you not only to quickly find the software you are interested in, but also to view similar developments. All this makes this application an indispensable computer assistant for both advanced users and beginners.
Install Pack really simplifies software installation. At the same time, you can use it not only for batch downloading of programs during a computer upgrade, but also in ordinary user everyday life - for example, when you needed two programs from different developers.
Problems with the operating system on your computer can arise at any time. And sometimes the only correct solution in this situation is to reinstall Windows.
If you mainly surf the Internet and sometimes use MS Office programs, then there will be no problems with reinstallation. But if you use a computer for various purposes: cutting music, editing photos, or using other programs, then there will be little joy.
Everything that was installed on the system partition of the hard drive will be deleted. You will have to wander the Internet again in search of a successful version of this or that program. The likelihood of introducing the virus is high, and it will take quite a lot of time.
The InstallPack utility, which contains many different programs, will allow you to quickly find, download and install the necessary and familiar programs on your computer. Or maybe you will even find something new and interesting for yourself.
InstallPak will help you find the latest versions for the programs you need. It does not contain pirated software or viruses. Moreover, you don’t even need to install the utility on your computer.
You can download InstallPack from the official website by following the link. Here you will see that Instal Pack contains more than 700 different programs for installation on a computer with the Windows operating system. Expand the list completely and look at them all. Next, click on the button "Download InstallPack multi-installer".
Find the folder on your computer where you save downloaded files, usually the “Downloads” folder, and launch the program by double-clicking the mouse.
The InstallPack interface is in Russian and will be understandable to any user. The first thing we will do is create a folder on the computer where the installation files of the programs that we choose will be saved. Click on the “Folder” icon at the top right. Then select the desired folder on your computer or create a new one and click OK.
Now let's find the programs that interest us. To do this, you can use the built-in search, or select the desired category from the drop-down list.
Check the boxes next to what you want to install. All selected programs will appear at the top of the list. For simultaneous installation, it is better to choose no more than two or three programs. The line for each program will indicate its rating, brief description and size. At the top right you will see how many programs you have selected and how much space on your computer you will need to install them. Click the “Next” button.
Wait for the program to download to your computer.
After this, the automatic installation will begin - it will be written in the status bar "Installing". All selected programs will be installed on the computer one by one.
Depending on the program, the corresponding installation wizard will open. If you do not want to install the selected program now, cancel this process. All installation files will be stored in the folder you selected. Therefore, they can be opened at any convenient time.
When the programs are installed on the computer, “Completed” will appear in the status bar. Now you can either close InstallPack, or return to the beginning and select the following set of programs.
As you can see, installing the necessary programs on a computer with the Windows operating system is not so difficult using the InstallPack utility. You no longer have to search for them on the Internet, just launch Instal Pak and select the necessary programs to install. Good luck to you!

- New instructions added.
Assembly suggestions.
Write your suggestions in the comments, but keep in mind that the assembly is not rubber and it is not possible to fit huge programs into 1 disk. Every day people use DVDs less and less. In this regard, this time the image exceeded 4.7 gigabytes and the entire image will not work on a regular DVD disc. If you still need to put WPI on disk, then unzip the ISO image to the disk of your computer and remove all unnecessary programs from the INSTALL folder. Once the data size is reduced to 4.7 gigs or less, you can burn the WPI to a regular disk.
Below you can download old versions of our WPI assembly:
