Atlanta .NET Regular Guys : Solution Installer for SharePoint 2007

Solution Installer for SharePoint 2007

Have you ever wanted a list of Features packaged in a solution that you could just click a button to install? Well the good news is that I have too.

To solve this problem I extended a great tool called the Power Toys Pack Installer from CodePlex.

If you want to check out the Solution Installer that I created from it, simply download the Exe below and run the application.

If the application can connect to the Internet it will download a list of Solutions that can be installed. As seen in the image below. This is not a complete list yet, just a start of some features listed on CodePlex by Scot Hillier.

If you have a feature that is packaged in a solution send me an email or wait a little longer for a web page to submit the information about it to me.

Here is a sample screen shot of what the UI will look like. Notice you can install and remove these solutions from the tool and it shows which ones are installed.

If you have a local solution you should check out the following free tool to install it.
