autorun cdr??

[vbnew]

guys,


how to make an autorun cdr... i want the cdrom drive to execute an exe in the CDROM without the user manually doing it ... anyone know?>> please help little bro here


let say that i group the exe file inside a folder and the path to the exe is

[autorun]
open = myprogram\installer-1.2\ComX.exe

It just wont run???? why is that ?

[Pc_Madness]

[autorun]
open=autorun.bat
icon=cdrom.ico

Create a file called autorun.ini and put the above code in there. Change autorun.bat to whichever file it is that your after, and if you have an icon for the cd, include it as well, or just delete the line.

i am confuse


[autorun]
open = myprogram\installer-1.2\ComX.exe


is not working (i got the error stating that the exe is not found and want the user to locate it )

Look it up at MSDN on the internet. BTW I have never seen a CD that starts a file in a folder I think. They more or less always start a file in the root of the CD...

it is recommended that you dont have the executable inside a folder, but there may be other issues here.

the most likely possibility is that 8.3 filenames are required, which can be resolved by putting the name in quotes, eg:

[autorun]
open = "myprogram\installer-1.2\ComX.exe"


or maybe (NB: each ~1 might need to be ~2 or ~3...):

[autorun]
open = myprog~1\instal~1\ComX.exe


or maybe the folder isnt found like that, so try:

[autorun]
open = .\myprogram\installer-1.2\ComX.exe

just one cdrw is fine for testing purposes

[john tindell]

are u using "autorun.inf", becuase i dont think it will work if its an *.ini file.

How about WinISO/Daemon-Tools
