I need a inf file in the root of a AM5 project, but each time I do a build it deletes it, if its in a sub folder its fine, but I need it in the root?? Any suggestions? Can you confirm?

Jason, there's probably a couple of ways you could do this. One would be to go to AMS' preferences and select the "build" option and uncheck "Optimize resources before publish". The other is - when you are publishing, tell AMS to "confirm deletion of resources that are not used". If it asks you to delete, uncheck the files concerned.
It's just that the file you're using is obviously not in the actions and it thinks you don't need it.

Hello,
I've not come across this as a problem and haven't tried it, but my immediate thought would be to build to a folder on your hard drive then put your additional file/s in and having done that write it to CD. That's what I tend to do in any case.
p.s. Hadn't thought of Rhosk's point - in my mind I had it that the 'clean' only takes place in the default sub-folders.Last edited by longedge; 04-12-2005, 02:16 PM.

Whereabouts in your folder structure are you putting your inf file. I just tried it, and placed a dummy .inf and also a .rar file in the project ''CD_Root'' folder .
The ISO when it was built included them both, they didn't get deleted. The four expected files were there in the root autorun.exe, autorun.inf, dummy.inf and dummy.rar together with the main folder ''Autoplay''.

Same here, I can't repeat this.
Maybe if you give us more details on how you're doing it....OS, the build options you're using, is the inf file read only or hidden by chance? Something's not right, but I don't think it's the fault of AMS.

Having a similar problem
Hello, I am having a similar problem, with the result being that an autorun.inf file is not being generated any longer.
I'm running with the latest version of AMS, just updated it recently. My AMS project is from an earlier version.
Clicking the build option box to enable autoplay (i.e. generate an autorun.inf and put in the root directory) does not generate an autorun.inf
It used to work. Is there any way I can check a text-based script or some file to force the autorun to be generated?
Thanks,
-Justin

I am wondering if this has something to do with the default autorun.inf that AMS 5 can create?
Hmmm... I am wondering (way out on a limb here) if the autorun.inf is created always in the CD_ROOT folder and if autorun optioins is unticked... then it's (and all .inf files in the CD_ROOT are...) just removed at build time (F7)?

I could not replicate this either. Here is what I did:
1) Created a blank project.
2) Went to the location that it is stored as in "My Documents".
3) Created a file named Ver.inf in the CD_Root directory.
4) Added some video, text ect to my project.
5) Built to a "Hard Drive Folder" and let it build to the CD_Root directory.
Result: the Ver.inf file was still there.
Can anyone follow my similar workflow and get different results? Can someone give me similar instructions that will replicate the issue?

No .inf file
I've just started to use AM5 since my OS has been updated from 2000 to XP Pro. When building a project, I too am not getting a .inf file. As a consequence, none of my CDs are autoplaying. I have tried building to disk and CD (using AM5 burner).
Any ideas anyone?
