Boxstarter
Boxstarter automates the installation of software to create repeatable, scripted Windows environments. Builds on Chocolatey to create an optimized way to install a complete environment on a fresh OS install. RjBass3 uses it "to install a plethora of basic apps and software like Adobe Reader, various browsers, dotnet etc.. And the ability to keep them updated, so I'm not always getting calls about 'is this notification for an update safe?'… saves so much time and effort."
