HOW TO HAVE SETUP LOAD AUTOMATICALLY FROM A CD-ROM?

[PAT Z]

I have the following question. Let's assume that I have designed and built the final SETUP.EXE file.

Now I burn it on the CD-ROM. How do I get the SETUP.exe to LOAD UP AUTOMATICALLY on a customer's CD-ROM once the CD is inserted in the CD-ROM Drive?

Do I require extra files on the CD-ROM to activate an automatic load of the SETUP Installation when a person inserts the CD in his/her CD-ROM drive?

And, how do I produce such a file or command?

You need to have a file called autorun.inf on the root of your cd. Inside, it needs a section header and a command as shown below:

[autorun]
OPEN=SETUP.EXE
ICON=SETUP.EXE,0

The ICON entry is optional. If you have an external icon file the second line can point to that.

Autorun is user disabled/enabled BTW
