Inno Setup is a tool to create installers for Microsoft Windows applications. innoextract allows to extract such installers under non-Windows systems without running the actual installer using Wine.

MFS Tools is a set of utilities for those who wish to get the most out of their TiVo. The primary focus is in backing up TiVo drives, and adding extra video storage capacity. Other simple utilities not directly related to TiVo upgrades are included.

GNUpdate is a set of libraries and tools that provide universal package management on Linux systems, allowing any distribution to install packages from other distributions, as well as updating the system with the latest versions of installed packages.

At this point this project is mainly wpkg which is a replica of dpkg and apt-get that works under Microsoft Windows and Unices. Since version 0.7.0 it works very nicely as it includes most of the important functionality of dpkg (i.e. most everything except dselect functions.) Otherwise, the Unix GNU Windows is expected to be a large set of packages that wpkg can handle. Packages of all the software available under MinGW and GnuWin32 so you can painlessly build a complete Unix like environment under Microsoft Windows.

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

MondoRescue is the premier GPL disaster recovery suite for Linux/FreeBSD

AutoInstaller is a program which can install and uninstall programs based on the decision of plug-ins. These could include by schedule, at user demand, or a more complex scenario. It uses plug-ins to handle tar.gz, tgz, zip, and rpm files.
