Creating a simple installer

[vvMINOvv]

I'm trying to write an installer for starcraft (a very old game). I have the original cd but and have copy on my harddrive as well, my problem is; everytime I install starcraft i have to install all the patches for it after the install. I want to write an installer that does that for me. The process seems pretty simple to me, but i do not know where to start nor do i know what language to use (C++ seems like a good choice to me because I know how to code in it and its pretty powerful)

The installer would do this:
1- install the game by running the installation of the game (cd or harddrive)
2- detect that installation is over
3- installs patch 1 by running its exe
4- detects patch 1 installation is over
5- restarts computer
7- installs patch 2 by running its exe
8- detects patch 2 installation is over

How much c++ do you know?


... everyone starts here :

#include <iostream>

int main () {

     std::cout << "Hello, World!";

     return 0 ;
}

You could always just use the installer that comes with it and go to bnet like everyone else does Oo
