Automatic BAT file for Seti install (or any distributed client)?

I'm sick of installing Seti everytime I'm working with a new machine. It's annoying to downloading the Seti client, and type in all the info, and set it to minimize and turn off the screensaver, blah, blah, blah. I'm not saying it's hard (probably takes under 5 minutes total) but how awesome would it be if you just had to double click a bat file and it just did it all for you in like 3 seconds. Has anyone already made this?

Heck if it's out for some other project, I may just switch over there. The search for aliens has gotten kind of dull and I think I've done my duty over the last 3 years and 6200 WU's.

This will fix you up!

Just click on the DOWNLOAD link.

You won't get as many WUs per machine hour with it as you would with the CLI CLIENT ... but it is an easy install. :D

Are you a member of TeAm AnandTech? :)

Folding@Home is a single file that you execute, configure, and it'll automatically download the bits it needs and grab a WU. Or you can just configure it and copy that folder for a "base install" for multiple Folders (pun intended :p). If you have any more questions, just ask.

BTW, Smoke your link is all messed up. I tried every combination of removing ftp:// and www and I can't get it.

Oops, I'm sorry about that. I have just fixed the link to take you to the Windows Download page for the SetiAtHome Version 3.08. As I said it is the easiest to install but is the slowest way to crunch Seti WUs. ;)
