I would like to develop a small vb application to start up with autorun when the CD is installed. Basically, I just want to have a form show with a couple of options, one being to load the main application. I am able to do this with ShellExecute, however, is there a way to have the vb runtime files (vbrun60sp5.exe)load without the message box appearing that asks if you want to load the runtime files? Also, is there a way to hide the status windows that show the runtime files being loaded? Thanks.

The default Setup.exe that is used by VB has some command line parameters, one of which I belive is /S for silent mode. VB includes the code used to generate the setup.exe's so you can change the code to do whatever you want... just look in your ...\vb\wizards\pdwizards\setup directory for the code.
