Why use batch scripts?

[excid3]

Ok...so ive ended up just converting code from a couple of different payloads to see how this is going to turn out. It hardly does anything at the moment. I am able to do the exact same things as any other payload, probably simpler too. Unfortunately I am having to use a couple of plugins to make it simpler. They extract to the temp folder in Docs & Settings for the current user. Just thought I would leave an update, i'll post a link to download the payload once I decide on a few things....such as how I want the settings to work. Here's a bit of code from the main section of my nsis script to tide you guys over:

Section "Main"

 ;CreateDirectory "$EXEDIRlogs$%computername%"
  SetOutPath "$EXEDIRlogs$%computername%"

;=== Find the INI file, if there is one
        IfFileExists "$EXEDIRsettings.ini" "" NoINI

    ReadINI:
    ;=== Read the parameters from the INI file
        ReadINIStr $0 "$EXEDIRsettings.ini" "${NAME}" "SAFETYFILE"
        StrCpy "$SAFETYFILE" "$0"
        IfFileExists "$SAFETYFILE" TheEnd ""
    
   ;Read in the rest of the INI file 
    ReadINIStr $0 "$EXEDIRsettings.ini" "${NAME}" "BIN"
    StrCpy "$BIN" "$0"
     
    NoINI:
   ;TODO: SETUP DEFAULT VALUES

 ;If log file already exists, backup previous one and continue
  IfFileExists "$%computername%.log" "" Continue 
    CreateDirectory "$OUTDIRBackup"
      StrCpy $R0 "$OUTDIR"  ;Directory move from
      StrCpy $R1 "$OUTDIRBackup" ;Directory move into
      StrCpy $R2 0
      StrCpy $R3 0
      ${Locate} "$R0" "/L=F" "Move"
      IfErrors 0 +2
     ;MessageBox MB_OK 'error' IDOK +4
      StrCmp $R3 0 0 +2
     ;MessageBox MB_OK '$R2 files were moved' IDOK +2
     ;MessageBox MB_OK '$R2 files were moved$n$R3 files were NOT moved'
      delete "$OUTDIR$%computername%.log"

  Continue:
 ;LOCAL TIME
  ${GetTime} "" "L" $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6
  StrCmp $4 0 0 +3
    StrCpy $4 12
    goto +3

    IntCmp $4 12 0 0 +3
    StrCpy $7 AM
    goto +3
    IntOp $4 $4 - 12
    StrCpy $7 PM
  nsislog::log "$%computername%.log" 'Date=$0/$1/$2 ($3)$nTime=$4:$5:$6 $7'

 ;COMPUTER NAME
  nsislog::log "$%computername%.log" "Computer Name: $%computername%"

 ;USERNAME + ACCOUNT INFO

    nsislog::log "$%computername%.log" "Current User: $0"
    StrCmp $1 "Admin" 0 +3

    Goto done

    done: 

 ;Save IPCONFIG /all to ipconfig.log
