Run Application

I have developed two windows applications (say A and B). Now I should allow a user to install any one of the these two. It should be installed unsupervised. Previously I used a batch file to install two applications one after another, but now I should select one among two to install. How can I achieve this.

All your advice is appreciated!

Edit: Spelling and grammar.

What you mean by one of them? Are you looking to select a one dynamically?

Why don't you create an installer? Looks better than a batch file. You can use Visual Studio, installshield..

installshield is a setup creator from Flexera software company. There are plenty of a free and open source installer and some are comercial.
VS2005 has something called: Setup & Deployment
NSIS 2 is a scriptable installer from nullsoft.
