    Project works in Vista but not in XP

    Hi all..

    I bet there is a simple answer to this but i cant seem to fathem it out.

    I have just made a simple little project to help my mate to install an APP onto his Windows XP.

    I am running Windows Vista.

    I made the project and tested it as far as i could under Vista.
    Burnt the project to CD.The cd runs fine under Vista and does what it should.

    I tested the disc in my laptop which is running XP.
    Nowt happened,XP only recognised it has a wav file ?????????????? eh...

    So i slung the disc back into my Vista machine,all was well,runs has it should.

    So where did i go wrong.
    Or should i be making projects that are for XP on a machine running XP...

    Any ideas.....

    Hm, did you burn using APMS or some other program?
    Never know what life is gonna throw at you.

    Yes i burned using APMS...

    mmmmmmmmmm.

    The project is saved i will try making a .iso image then burn it using my fav burning APP and see what happens.

    I was thinking there is a certain setting which would allow my project to run on any OS.

    thanks for the tip...

    nope...

    Made a .iso image.
    Burnt it to CD tested it on my Vista PC... Fine.
    Tetsed it on my XP laptop.... uh uh.. Windows only recognises it as a music CD..????????

    This puzzles me.
    Not just for this particular project but for any future projects i do which might involve them being used on any OS,not just Vista.

    For now i will just put the files onto a cd as data and give that disc to him and explain what to do with them.

    I just know my project would have impressed him and make me look super cool knowing how to make my own self install discs...
    Yes i know i'm sad but hey i don't care..

    Well dug out my old PC,dusted it off.
    Slung in a small HDD installed Windows XP.
    Installed APMS and started my small project from scratch.
    Burnt it to CD and tested.
    Worked a treat.

    Still have no idea why the disc made under Vista wouldn't work under XP.
    Summet to resolve for another day.

    This is a very strange problem. Has anyone else had any problems with this?

    I just downloaded WMP 11 and burnt the file to a cd. finalized the disc.
    it works fine on my Vista PC.

    but once again my XP laptop does not recognise it..

    ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
