Is that separate from the freenetlauncher.exe?

Honestly, adding the tray manager would be easy enough for
installations that have been done with the new wininstaller you
created, but older installs won't work because they are lacking
installid.dat (although I could probably create it, hmm...)

The other issue I have is adding a prompt will change the default
function of the script so if someone has a cron job it will hang
waiting for input.  If people don't think that breaking this is a
problem I will do it.

I see you are now installing via the system account instead of
creating a user called "freenet", how does this affect my work?

The script is not so bad now that I added the update_temp directory
and streamlined the logic.  The main trouble we are going to have is
with installations that were done previously, user account issue, lack
of installid.dat, etc...

I am going to limit my efforts to updating existing binaries unless
there is a consensus on modifying a users installation...
