9.1 PickMeApp Installer Overview

PickMeApp Installer is a free Windows application manager for everyday software tasks. Choose what you need to do below; the linked PickMeApp Pro manual sections explain the shared tools in detail.

Set up your PC with popular free applications

Start with the built-in PickMeApp Collection, a ready-to-use Web Profile of popular free applications. Browse the collection, select the programs you need, and let PickMeApp download and install them. Supported installers can run silently in a batch.

Use an installer you already have

Give PickMeApp the path to your EXE or MSI setup, or import it from a download URL. You can use the original installer without waiting for someone to publish a package in a community catalog. Supported formats also include PAD, TAD and TAP.

Import installation packages into a profile

Keep your own software collection ready for reuse

Organize installers on your PC, USB drive, network share or server. Web Profile collection maps support HTTP/HTTPS, FTP and file://. Keep the collection and its installers locally for offline use.

Organize packages with profiles · Create your own collection

Update or repair the programs you use

Find newer versions available through your package collections and choose which applications to update. Run Repair for applications that support it. In Installer, you start installation and updates yourself; automatic installation from a profile is a Pro feature.

Stop an application that keeps running in the background

See the executables and services belonging to an application and which are running. Start or stop individual components, or stop the application's processes and services together—even when closing its window leaves them running.

Run and stop applications

Remove several unwanted programs

Select the applications you no longer need and run their uninstallers from one place. PickMeApp attempts to identify quiet uninstall commands; some programs still need interaction.

Uninstall selected applications

Find out about transferring your applications to another PC

Request an emailed report comparing your installed applications with recorded successful PickMeApp transfers. Use it to assess your applications before choosing Pro or Light for capture and transfer.
