| 82410 | 2002-09-24 06:42:00 | We have a FAQ (pressf1.co.nz) on how to make a CD autorun. A quick browse shows that it looks pretty much what you guys have said but if there are things missing maybe the gaps could be filled in for other users of the FAQ. :-) |

| 82411 | 2002-09-24 07:11:00 | OK, looks like I was wrong. I was able to make my CD autorun from an .exe not in root. I am sure that that wasn't the case in the past. I copied some files from an old PC World Cd and got it to work as the PC Wold one did. I then put all of those files inside a folder called test on the CD, but left the autorun.inf file in the root directory. I change autorun to read [autorun] open=test\setup.exe icon=test\PCW.ico It worked!! I then tried the same layout, but with autorun.inf like this: [autorun] open=\test\setup.exe icon=\test\PCW.ico This time it didn't work. I have windows XP Pro, so maybe that makes a difference. Oh, and the file to be opened MUST be an .exe, so if you want to autorun an HTML doc, you have to create a .exe to run the html doc like the PC WOrld CD's do. G P |

| 82416 | 2002-09-25 01:53:00 | well done - your test worked :) or did it? ?:| | Mike (15) | ||
| 82417 | 2002-09-25 02:01:00 | It didn't work ... I hit Post, not Cancel, after testing with the Preview. :_| Interesting that this autorun actually wants a relative path. I suppose it's really a cobbled up thing ... so the wonder is that it works at all. I bet it hits the DOS maximum path length (118 characters?) if you try to bury the executable too deep. |
