Description:
Here&'s some easy money for someone. I&'m trying to automate installing some quiet mode .exe&'s from a network boot disk. What I need is something that can read a .txt file full of questions (“do you want to install this .exe?”), ask the user yes/no to each question, output the answers to another .txt file. After all questions are done and based upon the answers, the software needs to launch a series of corresponding .exe&'s on the network when finished.

It must be dos based and the program must be expandable for more questions. It must be able to be stopped, rebooted, and resumed, in the middle of the launching .exe phase. It also must have some way of altering the network paths to the launchable .exe&'s (ie another .txt file maybe). When finished, the answer .txt file must be cleared or deleted.

There&'s an extra $20 in it if you can come up with a makeshift menu (maybe checkmarks), or at least an 1) expandable/(addon-able) menu of .exe names/labels that you can press enter to select and a 2) submenu listing your selections (with undo or unselect). Basically, use your creativity to come up with a quicker way of answering a dozen or so yes/no questions list and then launching the corresponding network files.


Deliverables:
Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

Complete copyrights to all work purchased.


Platform:
Should run in DOS and preferably also Win 2000 command line. Should be able to launch .exe's or .bat from across the network, and network paths must be change-able.

Special Conditions / Other:
No special conditions.


Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements.

(Excellent)
   
I am including a screenshot that will speak for itself. It was taken in DOS, so it looks kind of weird.

The data this program would use would come from a text file. I have some questions, but I think would could easily accomplish what you're asking in a very easy to use interface (see screenshot).

The data in the text file would be in the format of something close to:

EXEFile Location, Title, Description

From my screenshot, do you think it'd be eligible for the $20 bonus? :)

For an extra $20, I will write ANOTHER small program that will let you add more listings, so that you do not have to manually edit the text file.
