Why a language pack? What problems do you want to solve using it? Right now, I don't see a need in it.

You can provide a download link to the users to download and install the .exe on to the client machine...

Hi Sai,

Pushing out EXE files and such with ASP is not normally a good idea, ASP.Net is developed as a server side coding language hence the need for things like jquery and AJAX in it. Pushing out language packs I would leave to a more powerful and designed tool like active directories group policy.
It is possible in ASP but you would run into a world of issues when it came to getting the right authentication and such to access every client that hit your website (Suggestion you don't just have an SOE)

If you really want some code to do this, sent me a message and I can help out more.

Okie then... Remember! I don't advise this as the best way to go about this... I think you should do it in GP or something else... But this piece of code will be very close to what you want...

Protected Sub Copy()

Dim hostname As String = Net.Dns.GetHostName.ToString

Dim FromFolder As String
Dim ToFolder As String
Dim Files As New ArrayList
Files.Add("File1.txt")
Files.Add("File2.mp3")
Files.Add("File3.exe")

For Each File In Files

FromFolder = "\\SOURCECOMPUTERNAME\c$\MyFiles\" + File
ToFolder = "\\" + hostname + "\c$\MyFiles\" + File

If System.IO.File.Exists(FromFolder) = True Then
System.IO.File.Copy(FromFolder, ToFolder)
End If
Next

Dim RegKey As RegistryKey
RegKey.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce", False)
RegKey.SetValue("Install App", "command.com /c C:\MyFiles\Install.exe")
RegKey.Close()
End Sub
