Thus I would like to create an (nice userfriendly GUI) autodownloader which can be used by games like this to download the nescesarry files, this should work something like this:

-user tries to start the game for the first time
-a dialog is shown to the user explaining that this game needs some additional files and that if the user agrees a connection to the internet will be made to download these files so that the game can be run.
-If the user agrees a dialog is shown with the license of these files,
-If the user accepts the license, the files get downloaded and dropped
  into the proper place.
-the game gets started normally

On subsequent runs the game will be started immediatly.

Hans, this is what I need for my OAR project... we plan on using the
$100 laptops and they basically have to be kickstarted almost everytime
they come into use. Ric

In what timescale do you need this, this is most likely becoming reality (as in a piece of software todo the autodownloading is being written), but the timeline is currently about 20 weeks.

Regards,

Hans
