After more than 2 years not being able to update windows 1809 (windows goes up to 30% of update and rolls back to previous version), got a new disk and installed current windows version. Is there a way to generate chocolatey script to reinstall apps that were in previous installation?

Thanks,

Alex

Nope.

Gotta create it yourself. Just look through your installed app list and find the choco packages that are available for those apps by searching on Chocolatey.

Here are a couple of my startup lists - I update these frequently when I install new apps to try keep them up to date.

choco feature enable -n allowGlobalConfirmation  

# Base
#choco install google-chrome
choco install brave
choco install microsoft-windows-terminal
choco install vscode

# Apps
choco install firefox
choco install filezilla
choco install markdownmonster
choco install office2019proplus

choco install skype
choco install zoom
choco install dropbox 
choco install authy-desktop
choco install 1password

choco install paint.net

# choco install onenote
choco install iTunes
choco install speccy 
choco install Recuva
choco install teracopy

choco install snagit
choco install camtasia

# Fast video player
choco install mpc-hc

# System
choco install curl
choco install windirstat
choco install 7zip.install
choco install teracopy
choco install imgBurn
choco install cpu-z
choco powertoys
choco install deletefiles
choco install procexplorer


# for development stuff look at the `dev` file

# DevTools
choco install vscode
choco install git
choco install tortoisegit
choco install smartgit

choco install nugetpackageexplorer

# choco install SourceTree
choco install fiddler
# choco install webpi
choco install linqpad
choco install beyondcompare
choco install reflector
choco install innosetup
# choco install MongoDb
# choco install robo3T


choco install heidisql

# Sql Server Developer Edition
# choco install sql-server-2019

# choco install mssql2014express-defaultinstance
# choco install sql-server-management-studio

# choco install wsl2

# choco install jetbrains-rider
# choco install webstorm

# Manual - so can be properly configured
# choco install visualstudio2019enterprise

Thank you very much Rick

Initializing new computers with a bunch of choco installs is a wonderful idea. I first heard it from you at SWFox. Miss those conferences. Thanks.

Would marketing a conference series on good practices in .NET for VFPers make sense for you? Take a poll.
