I got tired of all the bugs in RM Setup, so I basically rewrote it. You can find my version here.
The files in RMsetup.zip need to be copied into the RemoteMaster program directory (allow the old Setup.vbs to be replaced or rename the old Setup.vbs to OldSetup.vbs first).
The Setup.vbs sets up shortcuts and file associations for the current user. The AllUsersSetup.vbs sets up shortcuts and file associations for All Users. You can use the included Windows .cmd files (ie. Setup.cmd or AllUsersSetup.cmd) to execute the associated xxxxxxxx.vbs setup script (in order to get around mis-associations with .vbs files).
AllUsersSetup elevates the security level and then runs Setup.vbs with parameters set to update the All Users areas of Windows and Windows Registry.
I have also included examples called HKLMsetup.cmd and DesktopSetup.cmd to illustrate how parameters can be used to control the setup. Read the comments in the code to see what is possible.
Example: Remote Master shortcuts can be placed into any of the Windows "Special Folders" by using the /RMmenuFolder= parameter. Google up "WshSpecialFolders" for the list.
Another example: If you just want to create another set of shortcuts in another program group, use the /RMmenuFolder to set the location, use the /RMmenuGroup to set the name of the shortcuts group folder, and set /RMfileAssoc="" to prevent file associations from recurring.
BTW: Double clicking the .vbs files should open "WScript.exe" to process them. If this doesn't work then that means something somewhere at sometime has set your file association for .vbs files to NotePad (or somesuch)- it is a nasty Windows feature that lets this happen. The .zip folder contains .cmd files to execute "WScript" with the corresponding .vbs setup file to get around this issue.
Please test these setup programs as well as you can. If it works for you and others, maybe the JP1 group could include these setup files in the RM distribution - you have my permission.
Edited to improve clarity on 2013-10-16
With the version 1.3 update,the Setup.vbs will automatically elevate its own privileges to "runas" administrator if needs to do so and then it will restart itself.
The version 1.4 update corrects restart problems with Windows XP
