Require CD to launch application

[jerilyn]

Is there a way to require that the application CD ROM drive exist in the drive upon launching my AMS application? Thank you.

Are you providing an install for this application?

Yes, the application will be installed to their hard drive but I was hoping to be able to read the name of the CD ROM drive or some other file name that is present on the CD ROM. Unless you know of a better way. Thanks.

Do this:

- Store a specific file on the CD-ROM
- When your AMS60 app runs, use Drive.Enumerate (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/ams60/Program_Reference/Actions/Drive.Enumerate.htm) to enumerate the system drive, Drive.GetType (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/ams60/Program_Reference/Actions/Drive.GetType.htm) to pick out CD-ROM drives (DRIVE_CDROM), and then File.Find (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/ams60/Program_Reference/Actions/File.Find.htm) to see if the file exists on the drive. You could even use File.GetCRC (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/ams60/Program_Reference/Actions/File.GetCRC.htm) to see if it is the exact file you are looking for.
