creating CD autorun

[tdbs]

hi everyone,

I am making a new program that will be distributed on CD, and I need to make the setup auto-start when the CD is put in the drive. Does anybody know how to do this, what files should be added/modified etc.

help would be greatly appreciated

Basically, you need the setup.exe and an autorun.inf file at the disc root directory. The autorun.inf reads thusly:

[autorun]
open=Setup.exe
icon=Setup.exe, 0


You also need to have autoplay enabled on the drive in Windows, but that's usually the default setting.

good luck
