We have a .bat script to run setup and the local post-install script

Looked at your script. Like many people you assume that the end user
will a) read your documentation and b) go through a few manual steps of
unpacking and executing the resulting script. I was looking for
something a little more automated as I have learned over the years that
given any distribution of even computer professionals, about 70% of them
will not read the directions nor perform any manual step until and
unless it becomes a problem (at which point you're called over to do
they thing for them!).
