Chocolatey builds on technologies you know - unattended installation and PowerShell. Chocolatey works with all existing software installation technologies like MSI, NSIS, InnoSetup, etc, but also works with runtime binaries and zip archives. Go Pro/Business to dial that experience up to 11!
Easily manage all aspects of Windows software (installation, configuration, upgrade, and uninstallation). Chocolatey is the most reliable when software is included in the package, but can also easily download resources.
Take advantage of PowerShell to provide automated software management instructions and Chocolatey’s built-in module to turn complex tasks into one line function calls!
Chocolatey can build full software deployments in 5-10 seconds! Packages from Programs and Features in under 60 seconds? You've never built software deployments faster than you will with Chocolatey!
Package Internalizer makes existing packages work completely offline, allowing organizations to take advantage of great logic without a hit to the internet!
Organizations are creating/internalizing and hosting their own packages that are reliable and repeatable so they can fully trust and control the process. If you are an organization that wants the best ROI for any software management solution, look no further than Chocolatey for Business.

Chocolatey packages are not just fancy zip files with PowerShell, they understand versioning and dependencies, allowing you to encapsulate everything related to managing installation and configuration for a piece of software.
As an independent deployment artifact, Chocolatey packages are not tied to another technology, allowing developers to install packages with Chocolatey and System Administrators to deploy Chocolatey packages using Chocolatey’s integration with their favorite configuration manager like SCCM, Puppet, or Chef.
Chocolatey packages allow you to separate software installation concerns from automation tools / configuration managers and use the best tool for software management, which is the Chocolatey framework.
