Dear Bill,
Many of us use the program called Ninite Installer.
http://www.ninite.com
It installs programs without all the tool bars and extras that often
programs want to install third party programs.
One can go on the Ninite web site and build an installer from
programs they have listed on their web site.
I've used the Ninite installers before, but I decided to quit using them.
Thanks.

I have used Winamp for 15 or 20 years and I've never had to use a
third party installer. What are folks doing that causes them to
have to use a separate installer?

Subject: Continued Winamp Frustration
Hi. I have the free full version of Winamp 5.64 installed. I
understand that there is a version 5.65. I have the Ninite
installer and have checked the box for Winamp. The Ninite installer
doesn't find the update. The Ninite installer says that the Winamp
update is skipped on two computers, one running Windows 8 and the
other running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. On the Windows
8 computer, Ninite lists the program as skipped and running
locked. A list member suggested I close Winamp and try to run the
Ninite installer. I opened Winamp on the Windows 8 computer, found
a close button and pressed enter on it. I ran the Ninite installer
and Ninite still skipped the update and says program running
locked. On the Windows 7 computer, Ninite skips the update. Any ot
her updates seem to be recognized by the Ninite installer so why not
Winamp. Otherwise, the Ninite installer is a nifty program.
Mike M.
P.S. The Ninite installer when run on the Windows 7 computer does
not say program running locked. It skips the update just to be clear.
