How does it work
The application scans specified directories searching for all the subdirectories having an install.bat file that contains the installation parameters for a given application and then displays their names and checkboxes in the proper tab (configurable).
When the user presses the install button an .bat file is created in a temporary directory, then it is called by by a system method.
Configuration
Each tab represents a directory. Directories' list as well as thed escriptions are configurable: you can specify the folders to be scanned inside the config file.
There exists a separate configuration for specifying the window dimensions and the basic layout.
Example configuration:
# # Relative path of apps # application_base_path applications # # List of subdirs # application_subdir[0] asus_drivers application_subdir[0]_name Asus Drivers application_subdir[1] asus_utilities application_subdir[1]_name Asus Utilities application_subdir[2] common_software application_subdir[2]_name Common Software application_subdir[3] core_updates_07-02_08-03 application_subdir[3]_name WinXP Updates
