...If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it.

The manifests in Main are JSON files that describe how to download, install, uninstall, and manage versions of apps (including dependencies, checksums, etc.). ...

Testimo is a PowerShell-based test automation framework that simplifies writing, running, and reporting tests for infrastructure and script libraries. It provides constructs to define test cases, assertions, setup/teardown sequences, and grouping so validation logic is clear and maintainable. Designed for operations and platform engineers, Testimo focuses on verifying infrastructure state (configuration settings, service availability, registry keys) rather than purely unit-level code, making...

...It provides a local, script-based, transparent alternative to older post-install tools (such as WPI/Windows Post-Install Wizard ), without relying on deprecated technologies (Internet Explorer engine, ActiveX, etc.). PIW supports: Silent installation of EXE / MSI applications Deployment of portable applications JSON-based configuration Full user control and local execution This project is developed without formal programming background, with assistance from ChatGPT, and is published as an alpha release. PIW is not affiliated with WPI and does not claim to replace it, but should be considered a spiritual successor adapted to modern Windows environments. ...
