Separate install from files
I've checked where I can, but I probably haven't done enough. It's late here, and I'm pretty tired. I don't have a lot of time to do this, so I thought I'd better put up my question as sson as possible. Again, I'm sorry if this has already been answered.
I am making an extremely simple CD-based installer. I want my files to remain separate from my installer, as installation is more a convenience than a necessity.
Specifically, I want to do the following:
[list=1][*]Open a dialog box that gives the user the ability to either continue with the install, or cancel the process.[*]Copy all files (including folders) from the CD to a directory on the HD.[*]Create a special folder made of specially crafted shortcuts on the desktop.*[/list=1]
So is this possible (and fairly simple coding) for this language, or do I need to look for a more all-purpose solution?
* In case you wanted to know, I have to run the installed programs through DOSBox. I am making a CD of a friend's DOS programs so they can easily be installed on Windows, as he knows next to nothing about computers. (He didn't even know the programs were DOS programs...)
