Application Templates installation script

Scenario:
I am sure most of us know about "Fantastic 40 templates" or "Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Application Templates" available for download here

Now In my training I always recommends students to get started with these templates but they usually skip it just because of lack of scripts to install the templates on server.

Solution:
Here's the 2 scripts , I used to quickly setup Application Templates.

1. Download the templates and extract them in C:\apps
2. Run the AddSolution.bat script
3. Run the DeploySolution.bat script
4. Go to http:\\localhost > Site Action > Site Settings > Site Template Gallery
5. Upload > Multiple Upload
6. Now upload all the files with .STP extensions.

That's it. Now you can use all the templates.

Note:
1. This script assumes that path to STSADM is already set.
2. In case you dont want to install all of them, deleted the ones you dont want from C:\Apps folder before you run the scripts.
