@JickJul 18.2004 — This is better suited for the General forum. ?

@buntineJul 19.2004 — You may have to elaborate a little bit. Are you referring to installation software like that offered by Wise Solutions (wise.com)?

Or are you referring to small batch files that will auto-execute a program?

Or somewhere in between?

@PeOfEoJul 19.2004 — I believe he means when you put in the cd it will run a file on the cd, autorun.

@buntineJul 19.2004 — Well, thats easy. Just create a DOS Batch file named autorun.inf and write some commands. ?

EDIT: Changed file name. Thanks Adam.

@AdamGundryJul 19.2004 — If you want a file to run when the CD is inserted, use an [url=http://autorun.moonvalley.com/autoruninf.htm]autorun.inf[/url] file. If you want a full installation program created, try [url=http://www.wise.com/]Wise[/url] or [url=http://www.installshield.com/]InstallShield[/url].
