Automating A Windows Installations

[Ryan Morillo]

check with Mark Hammond's book Programming Python on Win32, (Oreilly), the 
section you care about is WSH(Windows Scripting Host) and Python.  You may 
just want to look at WSH on it's own.  WSH is (was) Microsofts way of 
trying to get people past basic batch scripts and give them the power of 
the GUI (Doesn't make much sense, but in the windows world you just tow the 
line)

I've used it for so Registy work (It was the only way I could get a copy of 
the registry).
Good Luck.
