Why Chocolatey ? Chocolatey works with over 20+ installer technologies for Windows, but it can manage things you would normally xcopy deploy (like runtime binaries and zip files). You can also work with registry settings or managing files and configurations, or any combination. Since it uses PowerShell, if you can dream it, you can do it with Chocolatey.
Chocolatey builds on technologies that are familiar:
- PowerShell
- Unattended installations
Chocolatey also integrates with infrastructure management tools (like Puppet, Chef or SCCM) and other remote administration tools
