Solve : making a install program from a batch?

Answer»

okay first off, i swear I won't use this information for bad purposes. I do not want this topic to end up like all the others I have started. Okay, so I am making an install program from a batch, and there are a couple things I need to know.
1.How do I create a shortcut using a batch?
2.Can I put this shortcut on all user accounts without having them specified?
3.If I use the C:\> command, will this work in any folder?
Thanks for reading and trying to help I hope you realize that people here may have a DIFFICULT time trusting you.Quote from: gamerx365 on July 10, 2007, 05:49:36 PM

Yes but its not a matter of anything that has to do with them other than helping me out. I am planning on getting into some HEAVY programming pretty soon and I want to be able to make a good homemade install system. I will be using it for part of my senior project at school.

1) yeah, it has to look something like this..

if %4[==[ goto syntax
if not exist %1 if not exist %1\nul goto syntax
for %%? in (%2 %3) do if not exist %%?\nul goto syntax
%5 %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 rem "{newfolder}" InstallHinfSection
echo > %temp%\#path#.bat path %path%
path %1
echo > %temp%\#k#.inf [version]
echo >>%temp%\#k#.inf signature="$CHICAGO$"
echo >>%temp%\#k#.inf [DefaultInstall]
echo >>%temp%\#k#.inf UpdateInis=Addlink
echo >>%temp%\#k#.inf [Addlink]
echo >>%temp%\#k#.inf setup.ini, progman.groups,, "group0=%6"
echo >%temp%\#k#.inf setup.ini, group0,, ""%6""
echo >%temp%\#k#.inf setup.ini, group0,,""%4",""%path%"",,0,"
for %%? in (call DEL) do %%? %temp%\#path#.bat
start/w rundll setupx.dll,%7 DefaultInstall 132 %temp%\#k#.inf
del %temp%\#k#.inf
move "%3\{newfolder}\*.*" %2 >nul
rd "%3\{yourfolder}"


2) without having them specified? , once the shortcut is created have it moved to allusers\desktop directory

3)if you use cd\ at the beginning of a file , @echo off & cd\ & cls , so your program always runs from c:\ it will work in any folder,
