Genius little Windows application called Ketarin keeps your application installers up to date. If you are like me, and either format and reinstall Windows a lot on your own machine, or have to reinstall workstations a lot as part of your job, then having a folder full of the latest installers for all your most used apps is a must. Things like Firefox, FoxIt PDF Reader, Paint.net etc.
However remembering to periodically check all those sites for the latest version and download it is a pain in the backside. This is where Ketarin comes in, specifically with a little help from filehippo.com
It is effectively a portable app, as it doesn’t install as such, and just runs as a single executable with a dll file.
Best thing to do is go onto filehippo and find an app that you would like to keep an updated version of. Then in the URL of the filehippo page for the app, it will be something like /download_firefox. The bit after the download_ is the filehippo ID for the program.
In Ketarin choose “Add new application”. In the next window simply type in the FileHippo ID into the relevant box. This will automatically fill in the Application Name box also. Then just choose the folder that you want the installer file to be saved to. I just have mine all in G:\applications (G is my external hard drive).
Adding applications
Then once you have added all the application that you want from FileHippo, simply hit the update button.
Ketarin will now search for updated versions of all the apps on your list, and download them. You can set in the preferences if you want it to overwrite the old installers or not.
Ketarin doing its update thang
For anyone in IT, especially if you are managing a network of machines, having an easily updated central location for your apps like this is a fantastic timesaver.
Highly recommended
