    Autorun setup from cd

    Hey, I got my project finished and I am wondering how to make the setup file run upon entering a burned cd of the project. Is all I have to do is make a autorun.ini file ? Thanx all for the help!

    Is the setup file in the root of the CD?

    You should only need this like you have and have the files in your root directory on your cd.
    VB Code:
    1. [autorun]

    2. open=setup.exe

    3. icon=REAicon.ico
    You did name the file - "autorun.inf" and your cd drive supports autorun and you didnt designate "Take no action" for when a cd is
    put in the drive (if running XP)?
