Why do not you Msi packaging? There are many third part msi packagin tools are available for this.

Have a look at this article : How to create a third-party Microsoft Installer package

I use the Wise for Windows Installer to create MSI packages, This MSI tool is fully compatible with Microsoft .MSI standards, and it also extends the capabilities of .MSI packages without making changes to their native format. You can download this Wise for Windows Installer Guide to know it more better.

On the installation CD winxp you have a tool called WinINSTALL. Image before, after and register files, which I believe can create the msi.

After you must use a script to deploy. If you absolutely want to use a single vbs script, the process is much the same: copy/paste your files (this is especially true for Notes) and possible execution of a registry file.

For Notes it will modify the notes.ini (hence the script is relevant) to customize it directly without user interaction.

suppose your setup is at rd \\Server\folder\setup.exe /s

then try out the following vbscript:

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run "\\Server\folder\setup.exe /s",0,true

0 shows installing setup silent , means only the .bat process will be visible true means wait in vbscript progressing until the bat process gets ended!
