<p>I have a bunch of files that I need to be able to <em>transport</em> and <em>install</em> quickly. My current method for doing so is moving a flash drive with a readme file of where stuff goes whenever I need to move stuff, which is rather inelegant and cumbersome.</p>

<p>My idea for a solution would be to write up a quick script to move files around that I could just click on. I've done some <strong><em>bash</em></strong> scripting before but <strong><em>batch</em></strong> scripting is a little odd to me. Does anyone have a good online reference guide I could use?</p>

<p>An alternative soulution I could accept would be a program that makes an installer for you, though I'm a bit against that as I would lose a lot of control. However, I'd be alright with it if it was extremely simple,</p>
