Excellent! That's great. In fact, I had to solve a very similar problem in another project, and ended up learning the crude syntax and limited commands of Windows' cmd.exe "shell". But VBS is surely much better suited for this task. I have a minor suggestion concerning the default location: With the newer Windows versions, users are strongly discourages to write anything into C:\ . Instead, at least in Windows 7 there is a true home directory, accessible via "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" . Maybe you should change the default location from C:\soft for those systems that have a %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% into %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\soft or %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\development The actual naming choice is up to you or whoever changes the code, but we should pick up the availability of the %HOMEPATH%. > What you can expect: > If you don't modify anything, the script will create a directory tree as > follows: > - c:\soft > - c:\soft\downloads > - c:\soft\Git-1.7.10 -> git installation > - c:\soft\gnucash.git -> gnucash git repository cloned from github > - c:\soft\gnucash.git\packaging\win32\custom.sh > - c:\soft\mingw -> will have mingw-get and msys (including > msys-wget) > - c:\soft\tmp > > Please do test though if the script runs properly and give feedback. I haven't tested it myself but will do so during the next days. Thanks a lot!
