I created a batch script for when I did my first install on my Video (5G). Everyone is free to use/modify it. I can modify to be a general installer if there is interest in it.
Just create the following folders, and copy files to them.
C:\rockbox\ipodpatcher.exe
C:\rockbox\installRockBox.cmd
C:\rockbox\pod\.rockbox\
installRockBox.cmd
@Echo off
If '%1%'=='/?' goto help
If '%1%'=='-h' goto help

if NOT Exist "%1%" goto menu
cd %1%
