My initial concept is to develop an application that finds and compiles the MaNGOS biaries for the user via user input and Visual C++'s command line commands, asks the user where they wan't the server to be installed, then installs the SQL files. Thats just my inital concept and came to me this morning. I'll check out your suggestions. Quite excited now.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't believe there exists a GUI for installing MaNGOS. I know, atleast to those savvy to setting up MaNGOS, that its not too dificult to get started; however, to beginners compiling binaries, configuring .configs, and copying files leads to problems. So, I propose to create a program that does it for you. Does anyone think it would be worthwile pursuing my idea?

Alternatively, you could also go to the MSDN site: msdn.microsoft.com; which has a number of tutorial tiers to introduce you to visual studio and its assosciated components.
