I need to find an inexpenisve program that will allow me to install
multiple programs automatically.  Example:  I want to be able to
install Spybot, Adaware, AVG, Google toolbar, etc without having to
iniate each install file and follow the wizard.  It needs to be more
like 'click it and forget it'.  If possible, would like to even
include more advanced programs like MSOffice.

If all the needed program exe's are on a single CD, can a batch file do the job?

Have you ever considered Ghost like application ?
(You install everything, make an image of the finished state of
machine) then recover it using Ghost, or if the specs of all machines
are same in your office, simply use the image to recover the machines
using one image.

If you have all of the exe files that you need, just create and msi
file and use the correct switches for an unattended install.
