      If you replace install with upgrade it will upgrade if it is there, if it is not there, it will install it.

      I hate that type of functionality.

      How would you preform updates on a machine in that case?

      You just use choco upgrade all -y to update everything that's installed.

        Has anyone tried combining Chocolatey with something like Salt yet?

                I'm still a little bit salty about the whole thing.

                      Workstations, but I could on the servers, but I don't deploy most of this junk to a server.

                        I do use it on servers, just the list is much smaller.

                        Typically

                          Everywhere 🙂 It is the installer for some server components too, like SSH.

                                The only other package that I install additionally to what has been listed is Adobe Air as it is used extensively where we work.

                                  There's a name that I have not heard in a long time.

                                    Yes, we use proprietary Crestron equipment which the controller requires Adobe Air.

                                      Weird. I had no idea that Adobe still supported that.

                                            Yes, they do. It is hard since Crestron has been using Adobe Air since 2012 and although the Xpanel has progressed is not their own software as opposed to earlier than that in 2010-2011 where their Xpanel had an actual Executable that would load a Visio document for the location. (I don't want to derail this conversation)...
