This is not really a WinBatch question (apologies), but I suspect it would be useful for WinBatch app developers.

I have compiled some apps, have compiled install programs for each, zipped the files associated with each app, and created download links on my website.

I would like to make it as-easy-as-possible for my users to download and install my apps. Many are older and not very tech savy.

Does anyone know if there is a way to download, unzip if necessary, and auto-execute the install program?

Thank you.

Yes.  One easy way is to have your installer include your app files as part of "Other Files" during the Compile and then when the installer is run have it unpack the files and do whatever you need to do for the install.
