When I put CD in drive, how do make it automatically execute setup.exe?
-
When I put microsoft software into the CD drive, the CD automatically starts spinning and something will pop up so I can begin installing the software. When I put my software into a CD drive, nothing happens. How do I make the CD automatically execute the setup.exe? Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.

You need to make an autorun.ini. I don't remember the exact sytax of the file off the top of my head, but if you take one of those CD's that does it and look at the file, it's very obvious. Are you sure you want it to run setup automatically? A lot of those CD's have an autorun.exe that is simply a menu that can execute the setup. That way it doesn't start to install every time you put the CD in. Programming in binary is as easy as 01 10 11.

From the MSDN:
_The minimalist AUTORUN.INF file only needs to contain three lines of text:
[autorun]
open=filename.exe
icon=filename.ico_Best Regards Carlos Antollini. Sonork ID 100.10529 cantollini
