My only problem with using VB to accomplish this is the fact that I would have to run the project through the Package and Deployment Wizard.
After all of the dependencies are included (for people who do not have VB runtime installed), the file would be rather large. This has been my main problem with VB all along.
I am trying to make this batch file available on my website and a complete VB app would suck up too much of my bandwidth. I think if I would do this in anything else, it would be C++.
The problem with that is that most people are not going to want to d/l and run an exe. At least with batch files, you can see exactly whats going on.

Thanks for the input =)
