Autorun

hi all,

i would like to know how to make a CD autorun.
also, if im not sure whther the user who is installing the app has MSVBVM60.dll, can i just include it on the CD itself if i want a 'Teaser App' to start first?

to make an autorun, write a file (in notepad) that contains the following:

Code:

---

[autorun]
OPEN=Insert EXE Filename Here
ICON=EXE File, 1 or ICO File

---

Replace Insert EXE Filename Here with the path of the exe for the autorun on the cd (i.e. \start.exe or \program\setup.exe)

Replace EXE File,1 or ICO File with a file that has an icon resource. If the file has more than one icon, use FileSpec, 1 (i.e. \start.exe, 1 or \program\myprog.ico)

AutoRun menus (when you right click on the cdrom icon) are currently beyond my knowledge.

A good way to test an autorun (before writing it to a cd) is to put the autorun file on a Zip disk and (using the Iomega zip utils) make the disk "Non-removable." I've found this to work highly accurately when testing my Autoruns.

Note: I think this requires an internal Zip drive to work.
