windows-package-manager works like synaptic in Linux

Handy way to install and uninstall software on windows

windows-package-manager

Npackd (pronounced "unpacked", previously Windows® Package Manager) is an application store/package manager/marketplace for applications. It helps you to find and install software, keep your system up-to-date and uninstall it if no longer necessary. You can watch this short video to better understand how it works. The process of installing and uninstalling applications is completely automated (silent or unattended installation and un-installation).

Main features

support for proxies (use the internet settings control panel to configure it)
password protected pages. This can be used to restrict access to your repository.
fast installation and uninstallation without user interaction. A typical application is installed and uninstalled in seconds (downloading the package is the most lengthy operation). See InstallationDirectoryLayout for more information.
dependencies
additional scripts for more sophisticated installation and uninstallation can be defined
shortcuts in the start menu are automatically created/deleted
multiple program versions can be installed side-by-side
cryptographic checksum for packages (SHA1)
detects some packages even if they were not installed by Npackd (Windows, JRE, JDK and .NET, Windows Installer, Microsoft Core XML Services)
prevents uninstallation of running programs
