Any runtime executable programs?

by Tatjana · in General Discussion · 11/04/2005 (1:00 pm) · 2 replies

Got Torque working perfectly with the NullSoft installer. I'm trying to go in another direction now. I'm creating educational software for non-computer folks. Instead of giving instructions on how to look for the download executable, I want establish a screenflash that does everything once the cd is put into the drive. I heard word that there are licensed programs that do this.

I have already used the keywords, software executable and runtime software. With this huge world of software, any suggestions or points in experience would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tatjana

Are you talking about the AutoRun.inf file on cd's that cause them to auto run when inserted into the drive? It is just a text file that you can point to your installer or the program executable and have it start up.

Tom Thank you

Im very new to cd type of programming. (Just internet and database programming is all that Ive known.)

I'm researching autorun.moonvalley.com/ currently. The site has a freebie download.

Thanks again,
