A couple of entries in a category ('package managers', as they're called on Linux) that seems to get a fair share of attention...

Npackd (pronounced "unpacked") is an application store/package manager/marketplace for applications for Windows. It helps you to find and install software, keep your system up-to-date and uninstall it if no longer necessary. [...] There is also a command line based version of Npackd.
Now available in 32 and 64 bit versions, current version (v1.17.9) can be (auto-)installed from the command line with this command:
Code: Select all
> msiexec.exe /qb- /i http://bit.ly/npackdcl-1_17_9

USSU Unlimited helps you to manage and keep your standard Windows applications up-to-date. It gives the possibility to add applications yourself.

I think this one is portable but I do not have time to test at the moment.

Old topic update:
npackd is still being updated, with latest v1.26.9 released 2020-11-29 (official changelog at
https://github.com/npackd/npackd/wiki/ChangeLog).
BTW, previously unmentioned (at least in this topic)
Powershell based (and thus
CLI oriented)
Scoop (
https://scoop.sh/) has been my favorite package manager for Windows, mainly because it consistently favors portable software.
