I'm looking for some kind of customizable installer, somewhat similar to the one used to install Sound Blaster 16 drivers for DOS and Windows 3.x, with the ability to add entries to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. The reason behind it is that I'm making an All-In-One DVD, and I want to add an option of easy install to most (of not all) of MS-DOS utilities and drivers that don't have one. For example, CuteMouse is just a compressed archive but I would like to turn it into an installer that extracts to c:\CTMOUSE or another folder set by the user, and add the necessary line to AUTOEXEC.BAT.
From Windows 95 and upwards I used AutoPlay Menu Builber to create an AUTORUN.EXE, and for DOS/Windows 3.x I'll use an AUTORUN.BAT to list the drivers/programs available to install.
I'm pretty sure I once tried something with an identical result, but it was so many years ago that it has been wiped clean from my memory by some crappy memory manager (me).
