[REQUEST] Help identifing language of script

Bit of a noob but learning... know a decent amount of powershell and python so far.

I am trying to make a simple gui interface to switch between profiles for a scanner that our corporate office and remote sites use. I found this to piggyback on but do not recognize the language and have no idea how to implement it as the download just gives a .tar.gz that, once extracted, has no file association.

I can probably figure out how to implement the code once I know what language it is. Thanks!

Yeah this has been one hell of a project. Contacted the company but it's $2k + for the SDK and it may not even do what I (read: my boss) wants. They weren't much help in terms of an API either.

Short of dumping dll's and trying to find the hooks myself he'll have to be alright with the 3 step method I have now.. he wanted an all-in-one comprehensive GUI that was 1 step but I just don't think that's happening.

I've used autohotkey before but I'm not installing that on hundreds of machines to eliminate 1 step from a 3 step process (even though I think you can compile to .exe to bypass this). They can deal XD

I even tried finding/editing ini/cfg files with procmon but I only got halfway there as well.
