Autoplay Issue

[Mansnake]

Hi fellow programmers.

Just a quick question regarding auto executables.

I have a program i have written in VB.NET and i want to burn it to disc and have it autoplay when a customer puts it in their CD/DVD drive.

I have everything in the root directory of the CD/DVD i wish to run and i have an Autorun.inf file containing the following:-

[autorun]
open=programName.exe
icon=Icon.ico

I know there are some arguments you can use with the open= parameter but i cant find any other information on this.

Do i need anything else in the Autorun.inf for it to boot on its own or do i have to compile the program with a certain option enabled etc...

Any help on this would be awesome.

Thanks again.

Is the program the installer? or just the program?

As you need to consider the customer might not have the .NET framework installed.

But what you have will run the program.

You can allways use a virtual cd program such as (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm) to test your ISO before wasting a pile of CDs.
