I came across a cool site, it is called Ninite:
It has been a huge time saver for me. I had a dozen or so machines I had to setup for a friend over the weekend. Using this utility I cut down my time by creating one setup file with most of the applications that we wanted to install.
Here is how it works:
Go to the website, and check off all the applications you want:
Once you have made your selection, click the “Get Installer” button, and instantly you have a downloadable setup file that includes everything you selected:
The download is quite small – so getting it on each PC is quick. Launch it:
Right after launching it downloads and installs all of the applications you picked – with no user intervention.
Very slick.
There is a pro version, it allows you to install silently and create packages that do not require internet access.
Take it for a spin at http://www.ninite.com

Thanks for the tip steve. This is the kind of stuff that is great to throw on a USB key when going to a friends house to install stuff.
Thanks for this tip Steve. It is really a breakthrough.
