Auto run from CD

[sultan_tipu]

I am wanting to burn a CD with some Battlefield 1942 mods on it for a couple friends and I want an executable that I can autorun that will bring up a little window that allows you to click the different buttons to install the mods using the .exe mod files . I can make the interface but I don't know how to run an outside .exe file using VB.NET. Any help would be appreciated. if that autorun page have a little instalation no problem. what will be path of CD Rom.

Dear sultan_tipu,

You can use Process.Start() method for launching an external app from Vb .NET

use the following example :

Dim p As Process = New Process
p.Start("Notepad.exe") ' Replace Notepad.exe with your .exe name
Hope that this solves your problem

Create a file called autorun.inf and place this in it but make the relevent changes to your file(s). Then when you burn your CD place the autorun.inf in the root directory.
