Template CMD Script for App Installs

This is obviously bare-bones and will need to be modified to suit specific implementations.  There are dozens of ways to execute a software installation, including setup.exe files, extracting ZIP and other archive files, registering DLLs with REGSVR32, and the ugly-ass, vice-grip + screwdriver + duct tape approach where you manually build folder trees, copy files, register DLLs, add and modify registry keys and make or replace shortcuts.  Oh, the torture.

EDIT: Updated 7/30/2011 to include errorlevel 3010 (reboot pending)
