MAke a file called

Autorun.inf (in notepad)

then insert this text

[autorun]
open=setup.exe << program to autorun
icon= setup.exe << icon to display on the CD icon


save it and put it in the root directory of the CD

As I serve as my program vb affixed of to write (directory CD) D:\directory\file.exe to write "same unity of where the same program vb":\directory\file.exe ????

App.Path will return the location the program is running from...try and use that.

[Alessio]

ok, but as I let to unite the App.Path to the run that I want. example,
App.Path = c:\document
I want to launch the program in c:\document\prova\prova.exe
how do I let to add the directory it tries?

Use this:

App.Path & "\prova\prova.exe"

App.Path returns as string. You can just attach another string to it to make a complete path.
