I suggest to copy such files [iexplore.exe for example] using INF code, which will properly detect actual location of installed OS components such as MS IE.
Example:

Quote

[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$
[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles=IE
[IE]
IEXPLORE.EXE
[DestinationDirs]
IE=29000
[SourceDisksNames]
1=,,0

All other methods mentioned here do not properly detect actual location of "C:\Program Files" [default location, but it may also be "D:\Programs" , "C:\PROGRAMS" , "C:\PF" or whatever else].
And short file name C:\Progra~1 accounts for only the 1st successful OS install.
If same or different MS WinOS was also installed [more than 1 time], C:\Progra~1 becomes C:\Progra~2 , C:\Progra~3 , etc, depending on how many times the WinOS was installed.

WMP directory to use in INF files is 49301 .

Download 98SE2MP10:
http://www.mdgx.com/...10/98SEMP10.EXE
and extract the INF. Open it in Notepad to see details on how to copy + regsvr32 WMP files.

How do i make shortcuts for these files
in my bat file or inf
i prefer the easy way .

Taskmgr=Task Manager
RegClean=Reg Cleaner
WINTOP=Wintop

This is the last part of my pack thanks guys

To create shortcuts, you need to use INF files, otherwise the dirs won't be detected correctly.
It may be a way to do this in VBS, but I have no experience with VB.
Example, adapt to your needs [excerpt from 2G.INF, part of 98SE2ME]:

Quote

[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$
[DefaultInstall]
UpdateInis=UI
[UI]
%10%\SETUP.INI,progman.groups,,"0="
%10%\SETUP.INI,0,,"""File Manager"","%10%\WINFILE.EXE",,,,"%10%",,""File Manager (Short File Names only): versatile + customizable disks, folders + files editing + viewing management tool"""
%10%\SETUP.INI,0,,"""Registry Editor"","%10%\REGEDIT.EXE",,,,"%10%",,""Registry Editor: Registry editing + viewing management tool"""
%10%\SETUP.INI,0,,"""System Configuration Utility"","%11%\MECONFIG.EXE",,,,"%11%",,""System Configuration Utility: Registry, Startup + System Files editing + viewing management tool"""
%10%\SETUP.INI,progman.groups,,"G2=Accessories\Games"
%10%\SETUP.INI,G2,,"""Spider Solitaire"","%10%\SPIDER.EXE",,,,"%10%",,""Play Spider Solitaire Card Game"""
%10%\SETUP.INI,G2,,"""Space Cadet Pinball"","%28700%\Pinball\PINBALL.EXE",,,,"%28700%\Pinball",,""Play Space Cadet 3D Pinball Game"""
[SourceDisksNames]
1=,,0

cd "program files"
pkunzip -e marbles.zip

I would not recommend Pkzip as it's not free and requires an email even for the demo.

Look into this one instead :

For the batch file posted above you'll need to have marble.zip present in program files before running the command and the commandline util somewhere in the search path otherwise it won't work IMO.
