I need a utility for windows 98-XP to copy the data on data DVD's to a specific location on the computers hard drive. This program will reside on the computer not on the disks, and will be run by clicking an icon on the desktop. When a customer buys our software they receive quarterly updates to the software currently there are 3 DVD's soon to be as many as 8, each new update completely replaces the previous data. My customers are very computer illiterate and I need a utility that will easily copy the contents (3 folders and 1 text file) from the DVD to a predetermined location on the hard drive. It must ask the user if they have another disk after each disk has finished copying and be able to do this until all the disks have been copied. It will preferably use the x-copy commands in the background but is not completely necessary but speed is also a consideration. The folders it would need to create and copy the data to would be subfolders of the main folder called C:\Mitchell Data, the sub folders will be called "C:\Mitchell Data\disk1", "C:\Mitchell Data\disk2", "C:\MitchellData\disk3" and so on. Each update will completely overwrite the contents of the folders. Just to be clear: This will not need to be autoplay, the program/utility will reside on the computer and be executed by clicking on a icon on the desktop. Which will then launch the program, detect the drive/drives, allow the user to select which drive to copy from and copy to designated folders until there are no more disks to copy. I have attached screen cams of what the contents of each disk look like. Inside of them is a .txt file and that file contains a disk ID. I have also attached a shot of how the program maps to the where the data is, the names of the folders are not as improtant as keeping them the same each time the data is updated. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
