Almeza MultiSet was last given out on 1/21/09. It was v6.3 and I reviewed it back then. You can read my review by clicking here.

Today's version is v6.5. As per the developer, these are the changes:

Version 6.4 (January, 2009)
* the program kernel was improved
* some bugs were fixed
* an error with some applications was fixed
* the German language has been updated
* an error with insertions was fixed
* an error with restarting the computer was fixed

Version 6.5 (March, 2009)
* the full support of the MSIEXEC command line
* bugs causing an error while creating a Vista disk have been fixed
* the bug causing an error while entering serial numbers has been fixed (MS
Office, Adobe Reader)
* the package copying feature (Ctrl+Drag&Drop) has been fixed

Free Alternatives:

Always free alternatives:

I tried this program out the last time around, and figuring out how to use it was pretty bothersome (I have been using computers regularly for over 10 years and do trouble shooting for my friends, though I am not an IT professional). I then found out about Nlite from the Giveaway discussion, and found that it was a much more simple software to configure and use. Another software, available from http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ give the ability to add all the latest updates from Microsoft either to Nlite or to Ryan Integrator.

The version of the program given here at GOTD is the full version. The license info given by the installer is for the trial version, which this isn't. If you complete the install and check the program's "about" screen, you'll see that it's a registered version.

#15:
I just installed this over a previous version of MultiSet with no apparent problems. I forgot which version I previously had installed, though since I got it here, it likely was 6.3.

#16:
This program is designed primarily for creating a new installation of Windows with apps automatically installed. If you want Multiset to install plug-ins, personalizations, and bookmarks, you'll have to start from scratch and record all those install processes.

#4, #6, #12, and #18:
As #19 and #22 point out, the version supports Vista. It can be installed on Vista and be used to create an unattended Vista install. The "Create disc" option in the program has a Vista disc option.

#20:
I don't think I've ever heard of different BIOSes causing a problem with install. Since MultiSet creates a new install each time, using the same disc on machines with different HALs shouldn't be an issue. Also, as long as the drivers for all the different hardware on the different PCs is included, the install disc should install them without issue.

#21:
The freeware programs nLite/vLite and RVM Integrator all support slipstreaming Windows Service Packs onto the installation disc, as well as additional Hotpacks. They also support installing applications and keys via the use of add-on packs and scripts. However, the writing and editing of scripts is a bit more complex in the freeware programs than the script "recording" feature of MultiSet.

A final note. If you're primarily interested in backing-up your PC in the state it's in right now, with programs, documents, and settings, an image-backup solution is a lot simpler. However, if you do a lot of fresh installations of Windows and/or programs on PCs, this program may be better suited for that task.

Monday’s games were a couple of Beat ‘Em Up games called Barbarian 2 and Pretty_Soldier_Sailor_Moon Today’s games even include a demo called AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, but I only included it because I think it’s innovative, brilliant and has enough levels to make it a worthwhile download. There’s also a psychedelic 3D third person shooter called Canopia, a Doom remake not surprisingly called Doom 6666 and another shooter called Eight Legged Freaks. You can find the above games HERE and HERE

And for those who missed the free weekend games; there’s a good selection of them to suit most tastes (over 10 games were posted), including some excellent free online games. You can find those HERE and HERE

Thanks for reposting this application; I lost it to a forced format before I had the chance to use it. It installs via a dual activation and setup wrapper, with no activation code needed. The GUI is simple (if not a little bland) and the program is easy to use. A thumbs up from me, though I may try the alternatives posted by Ashraf and Nobody to see how they compare. (If I can pull myself away from my games, lol)
