Chocolatey is a Windows apt-get-like package management tool (used mostly as a silent installer). It uses PowerShell and you can automate almost everything.
It allows you to create packages and submit them to the main feed repository, put those packages on custom sources like includes myget.org, a file share, directories, custom feeds and private feeds. Most packages take advantage of the functions that a Chocolatey PowerShell module provides that make downloading and silently installing an application no more than a function call.
Use this tag for questions about Chocolatey usage and package creation/maintenance. However, issues with packages you don't maintain are best suited for Super User, or even better, by contacting the package maintainer listed on the community feed for the problem package.
