Hi all

I am now trying to create a menu box using vbs if possible or do I need Visual Basic software?

I would like to have a menu where our IT Engineers out in the field only have to select the software that they need to install by ticking a multichoice box or radio button. For Example, if the Engineer needs to install Office 2000 Standard and Winzip but not Adobe Acrobat, then all he would tick is the Office and Winzip box and when you click the OK button. It would run the batch files in turn

Any new if this is possible would be great

You can do it as an HTA using vbscript or you could use any of the programming languages that support a native user interface (VB, VB.Net, c#, etc.).

Thats great, I never knew this HTA existed. It opens up so many more avenues.

I have managed to play around with a script I have found and made it simple to my needs for know but there are a couple of things that I cant do.

I have some check boxes with the software name next to them ie Winzip, Office 2000, Adobe Acrobat, etc. I would like to check boxes if slected to run either a vbs or bat file when the button is clicked on and install the software one after another.

Also When the check box is ticked, I would like it to show in the text area below and not overwrite what was previously in the textarea but to add the software name on the line below. It can clear the teaxt area when all the software is installed. It would be great if I could also say when each application has been installed in the text area.

Below is the code that I am currently playing with.

Thanks in advance
