Chocolatey completely turned me off from Windows package managers. I'm sure you're familiar with all of the sore points that make it more hassle than it's worth.

But your description of AppGet has convinced me to try it out. Thank you!

Edit: There seems to be no obvious way to globally set the install location for apps. This is critical for my setup, I don't install apps in Program Files, because my Windows partition is lean and on an ssd that is shared with other VMs. Apps are installed in another drive location. Is there any way to do this currently?

Thanks for the feedback, right now there is no global way to set this. However, I just created a GitHub issue for it https://github.com/appget/appget/issues/14

In the meantime, what you can do as a workaround, is to use `-i` param when installing apps to launch the installer in interactive mode. That will let you run through the installer and customize everything including the install location. I know it's not ideal, but if you want to use appget to automatically download, validate the installers and check for outdated apps, it might be a reasonable work-around.

Still a good enough workaround to leverage the benefits of the trusted repository. Thanks for the tip! Definitely interested in seeing #14 get addressed :)
