Here is a deployment script for the very cool convert.exe utility from Josh Madison.
Enjoy!
‘ Installation script for convert.exe (http://www.joshmadison.com/software)
‘
‘ Notes:
‘ 1) Even though this a a 32-bit application…
‘ i) It will still run 100% correctly in a 64-bit environment.
‘ ii) In a 64-bit environment we deploy it to the “%ProgramFiles%”
‘ location and not the “%ProgramFiles(x86)%” location. This provides
‘ a single location for the published application regardless of the
‘ system architecture type.
