I need an installation program that will install software from a set of DVDs.
The user will have a zip file on their harddrive that needs to be unzipped to a selected location(it may be .zip or a .exe self extracting zip, or a 7zip self extracting zip), then data files from the DVD set will need to be copied to folders that are created when this first file is unzipped. Will need to check disk space before copying and during copy process. Will also display help information from the help menu.
The installer should be an all-in-one exe, no installation of the installer should be required.
I will provide a graphic logo for inclusion in program and more detailed instructions to programmer.
This should be a fairly simple program to implement.
If the user were doing it by hand this is what would happen.
Download a file [login to view URL] or self extracting [login to view URL]
unzip it to c:\myprogram
which would create c:\myprogram\dir1, c:\myprogram\dir2 etc.
Insert DVD with dir1,2,3, and copy dir1 to dir 1, dir2 to dir2 etc. Put in the next dvd and copy those files.
The help sections would link to .txt or .htm files that I will create later.
I have a screenshot layout prepared.
There would be some checkboxes so the user can select withch folders of dir1, dir2 they want to install. There are about 7 folders total.
