ok so one of our admins needed to do this complicated install batch file and asked for help. After seeing the complexity of what they wanted todo I built this sample to show them how easy it is to use VB considering they already were doing some heavy duty VBS. GASP, I know VB is a sin or something but thats what they knew so it makes it easier for them if I just show them how in VB. So anyway this sample does all the basic admin stuff; ie: check registry, set reg settings, copy files, delete folders, kill processes etc. It took all of 45 minutes and a few google search and poof way easier then 15 batch files...
