Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there's a way to repackage installation files? For example, I want to create say Apps.exe that when run will silently install say AIM, WinRAR, and etc. There would be a screen to select which apps you want to install.
Do I make sense and if yes is this possible? I'm totally new to this stuff so be gentle.

You could make a self extracting RAR file that extracts everything to the temp directory, and calls a batch file you made that installs the programs silently for you. I do this for a few of my files, and then just delete the %temp% directory when you are done.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. On a related note, can you edit the registry using a batch file? I would think that you would need to make a .reg file and then call that in the batch. If that's the case, how do you do it?
