I saw there was a setting for each individual app, but I would like the ability to globally turn off auto install for all apps, like in version 4.
I tried going to Settings and disabling "Silently install and update applications".
When the manual installer automatically started, I exited.
However the result was that the installer was deleted.
The "Enable Download Only Mode" in v4 worked perfectly for our needs.
Multiple computers on the home LAN that use the same app can use a single installer. No need to run PMPC to download and install on each computer.
Testing before deploying an update. There have been cases when an update did not go well. Easier to undo one install than multiple installs.
PMPC installers are archived, and updated. If a clean install is necessary, apps are ready for re-install, rather than re-downloading each app.
There was also the "Don't Delete App Installer Files" setting in v4, but we didn't use it. However, I could see it being useful for some (saves a manual install, but keeps the installer) for similar reasons.
