Windows Software Deployment With TGUP. Computers that are bought in stores and those that are build individually do not come with software preinstalled usually. A few options are available to deploy software on those new computer systems like installing each program manually, using custom operating system setups that install applications during the regular OS installation or running a program like TGUP after installation that offers to install multiple software programs without user interaction. TGUP, which stands for The Great Unattended Project, is a Windows software deployment application that can be used to install popular free software in Windows. The program can be used to either download and install the selected software or to only download it and create a silent installer. The second method can be used for multiple installations on different computer systems or to prepare the setup for a computer without Internet connection.
TGUP is a portable program that will launch a command line window upon execution. Ninite: One installer, multiple programs.
