How do I open a directory using Html when the files and html are all on a DVD

I work for a large company with agents all over the U.S. We want to upgrade our agents to Open Source office suite (Apache Open Office) from the chaotic mismatch of different versions used now. Problem is many of our people are barely computer literate.

I need to build a menu in Html to install the proper version on their systems from a DVD I have downloaded the files onto.

I can code some Html and some java but not a lot. It would help if it were cross browser since some use Macs but most use PCs.

I have researched for days and find many references to no access from the Web bit surely there is a way to do it offline?

Thanks in Advance.

I want to thank everyone for their help.

Do to time restraints I believe the fastest solution is to do a simple text document in several forms describing the file choices and links to the files.

This way may not be eloquent but it is efficient.

Thanks for your time.

I'm not sure that HTML is really what you want here. HTML is used to create web pages, but it's not a programming language and is not well suited to executing commands or performing tasks. JavaScript is the most common programming language used in web browsers, but you will have problems accessing a user's local file system for security reasons.

The best option I can think of is to give the installers appropriate names based on OS, and include documentation that clearly explains to users what they need to do. HTML may or may not be suitable for the documentation depending on your needs.
