Question

Okay, there may already be a post out here that is similar to this, but I wasn't able to find anything that was helpful.

Scenario:
I have a zip folder that contains a folder structure (web site) and batch file.

Objective:
I need something that will enable a user to download the zipped folder - but, while it is being downloaded, it will unzip the folder, save the folder to their Desktop and run the batch file.

I have an EXE file that does this, however, since a majority of the users will only have basic rights on their computers, they cannot run EXE files.

Question:
Is there another way of doing this that doesn't require an EXE?

.exe batch zip

If I was able to use this download script, use it correctly to download file on computer server as student. As sure, you can do it, on whatever, computer.
