Default use Ketarin to build the toolkit

Why don't you post a Ketarin application import file with all the Repair Tools of the Week already included. You could also post the menu .xml file from PStart and have Ketarin download and organize the entire toolkit with all the latest versions of the software to boot.

End users would just:
download Ketarin
run the app install script, save all files to c:\thumbdrive\appname\
run pstart.exe with the pre-configured pstart.xml menu file already in place
copy the c:\thumbdrive folder to their thumbdrive

Looks like you've already done it! Great, saves me from having to.. lol. Now for extra credit, we need to setup Ketarin to run an unzip program after downloading .zip files. This way things are extracted and ready to run on the drive.

Incedently, I use something like

"\PortableApps\Ketarin\unzip.exe" -o "\PortableApps\rawcopy\rawcopy.zip" -d "\PortableApps\rawcopy\

You need to add Malwarebytes and provide a big zip download of all these files

I will have to pass on that. Bryce originally had that available, but some of the software authors indicated that they preferred people download the software from the authors' own sites.

On the other hand, the Ketarin and the PStart Menu export files can be found attached. That will allow you to install Ketarin and PStart Menu, then import the XML files for each one. Run Ketarin and it will download all of the files from the author's source.

The Ketarin XML file contains the destination folder for all of the original files. The code {root} is used to indicate the root of whatever drive Ketarin is run from. If you wish to use a different folder than "PC Repair Toolkit\Source\", then do a search and replace to change it to what you wish.

Default Saweet!

I was looking for this ever since they disbanded it!!
One thing I found is that even if some of the tools on this are not portable you can actually extract them and make them run portably off a thumb.

The guy that created the ketarin version 2 list removed some from the original because I believe he said they are not portable but I believe that is quite fixable.

Just my two cents......maybe three.
