Re: Library Software Hunt

I am putting together a CD of freeware for library computer users.

For instance, downloading large files are impossible on a library
computer because of the one hour use limit and IE's not resuming
downloads. So I use Win32Get.Exe and a CD-RW. However even that has
problems because some of the library computers have icons in the
System Tray disabled, which is how Win32Get is accessed.

Here is a list of software I'm looking for:
Download Manager
CD Recorder that can handle .ISOs
Emailer for editing offline
Spider for offline viewing of web pages

The software must be stand-alone since installation is impossible. Or
is there a way to fake installation? Can software's .DLLs be put into
the same directory a the .EXEs? If so how do I take apart the
SetUp.Exe to do this?

I have set up public computers for libraries. It is very unlikely you will
be able to do what you want unless the library in question has very poor IT
support. Most public computers are locked down so what you want to do can't
be done. Allowing things like that opens the computer up for vandalism by
the public user. It is much cheaper to lock down the public computer rather
than troubleshoot them because of programs installed by public users. Public
users also have some anonymity when using library computers. This means
unscrupulous users could use them to send spam, run pasword hacking
programs, or whatever.
