What you're likely thinking of is:

 

www.ninite.com

 

Check it out. It has most of what you'd want to install - essentials wise - in one place.

Note about Ninite: It installs the programs on the C drive (or what ever you drive letter you set your OS to) . . . . .

True, but that's hardly an issue with 99% of users.

 

Very seldom will a user find themselves needing to install anything from Ninite onto a different drive letter. Those users who need to, will simply have to manually install everything. But even in that situation, it's still useful as a resource list (to see which programs you might find useful and might need/want).

Unfortunately I am in the 1%. The first time I used ninite I had no idea it installed everything to the OS drive and then when it finished I had to uninstall over 10 programs and then go download each one from their official site. Was a very unpleasant experience

No doubt that must have been annoying, but the entire point behind Ninite is seamlessly downloading and installing the programs with no user interaction. You just select your programs and go. Therefore, they must use the default location (C drive) since you don't get to choose where they install.

 

AFAIK the pro version allows this, and is also Active Directory aware and able to be integrated. But that costs money.

 

Edit: Just out of curiosity, why do you need to install the programs on a different drive letter?
