Autorun.inf creation

[tcoulson]

Is there a way to direct what file gets launched in the autorun.inf file that autoplay creates. Everytime I have autoplay menu create my menu it just has
[autorun]
open

And that is it. So it opens the containing folder, but will not let me launch the main.exe file it creates from the project.

The Autorun.inf file should be containing:

[AutoRun]
OPEN=autorun.exe

which points to the Autorun.exe that is being created by AMS.

If you have anothe file you want to launch with Autorun.inf, just point to it:

[AutoRun]
OPEN=yourfile.exe

Thanks Yossi, but I don't think you are understanding my question. I ended up rewritting my own autorun file and burning the CD manually yesterday. I understand how autorun.inf files work. My problem is that in Autoplay menu there is nothing that configures it so that Autoplay menu studio can create that inf file for us. I love the burning feature that is inherant inside of autoplay menu studio, but I really do not like the settings that are created for the autorun.inf file. Namely, the only setting is: "Enable AutoPlay feature" - that sets it so that autoplay will create the autorun.inf file - but it creates it without the file you want launched. It only puts the following code inside it:
[autorun]
OPEN
Thats it! Not a lot to that file. :eek: So in turn, I had to create my own autorun file, and burn the folder contents myself, instead of using the "Burn data CD/DVD" option for publishing.

Does that clear up my problem more?

I would contact IR support for this problem.

So would I.
I never encountered this problem and my Autorun.inf files include the whole code.
What happens if you try to do it in two stages, building an output folder and THEn burning your CD (maybe with another program). Is the Autorun.ing file in the outpur folder also truncated, or is it full?

The autorun file is placed alongside the main exe file like expected. Just doesnt have all of the code. I am making the path of the folder on the server, should this always be done on the default C: drive location that autoplay sets up? Thats the only thing I can think of that may make it weird, but that shouldn't even do the trick.

Why don't you try publishing on your local disk and see. You can always then transfer it to your server.

I ditching the server. It works locally, but doesnt work on my network. Forget it, I will just have to create projects locally. I can't waste this much time trying to do some of the simplest things.

BTW, thanks for your help, you really lead me to the correct conclusion.
