Newbie Question About Copying Folders

$

0
I'm trying to decide if I should purchase Setup Factory. I have a large library of product and presentation files (.doc, .ppt, .pdf) that are routinely updated and sent to our sales staff. There is a master folder with many sub-folders and files in it. We always want the staff to refer to the current files so we send a DVD to each of them, which includes the most up-to-date version of the master folder and all of its contents. Using the disc used to be acceptable with standard laptops but now many of the reps are switching to Ultrabooks and want to update our master folder on their machines. We include instructions on how to delete the old folder and install the new one from the disc but our folks have varying skill levels and we cannot support the myriad of problems we have encountered so I'm looking for a better solution.

I would like to create a typical windows style "setup" program that performs the folder copy action for them. My goal is to have this program delete the master folder tree on the user machine and copy the new master tree to it. I don't want to create a new setup program every time, I just want to update the contents of the master folder and run the same setup program over and over. In reading your users guide and forum posts it appears that Setup Factory cannot do this without some custom scripting because it does not have a wildcard (*.*) copy function. That surprises me but maybe this product is overkill for my needs. Can you shed some light on this feature?
