You mean that I'd run install only when the batch file reports everything's
ok, or there are just minor problems which can be corrected on-the-fly? I'd
just have to put exit code on command line, then.

This way is certainly very comfortable but we'd end up with two almost
identical batch files only one of them named install and the other djverify.
BTW. How will the two programs (install & djverify) be distributed? They
cannot be zipped cause they have to be availabe out-of-the-box. Maybe we
should use a SFX archive?
