I want to make a custom installer where you tick off the programs you want and it downloads/installs them for you, like ninite, but minus the website.
How would I go about doing this?
A regular installer needs all the resources to be included, I want to get them off a server.

edit:
Actually all I want is an app that you tick checkboxes and it downloads the selected files, no installing or anything.

If I am understanding this all you want is a program that allows you to select files to download based on on a check box list or something. If you give me some more specs and maybe a quick paint drawing or something of what you it to look like I can code you a quick one and use ini or xml files to set the check box names and download urls. If you want to code the program your self I can probably point you to the right direction.

you want a utility or to code your own program ? it's very easy to do in java

Probably I'll have to code it myself, I don't really care what language I have to do it in.
Attached is an example, the user wants to download files 1 and 3.
Actually it would be cool to be able to select directories to download with lots of files inside.
Like say they pick their desktop as the path and check 1 and 3, it would make a folder called "downloads" on the desktop with folders "1" and "3" inside with a ton of files inside each.
That's the bare bones of what I want to build, maybe add another feature or two later.

so you'd basically be making a noob version of jdownloader, right ?
