Love this program.

I use this program almost a daily basis and I am trying to raise some funds for donation for it. I thought that since I haven't raised any money yet I would donate this instead. I know it is simple but anything to help out a great cause.

It is a progam I created with AutoIT3. It expands on the method 1 idea a little by adding Devpath.exe and the "D" folder created by method 1 to an autorun cd. It also checks to see if .Net framwork 1.1 is installed. If it isn't it will install it silently.

I have used this almost everyday with about 99% effectiveness.

I wasn't sure about posting the file but here is the source code. If it is okay, I can post a link to download this.

This only tested on Win XP English btw.
