Randy Rhoads Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Edited a Win2003 autorun to display Windows 2000 to replace that old ugly one and the other two are edited XP and Server 2003 original autoruns that will execute WPI.hta from the Windows cd.Method 1:If your Windows cd has already been setup to copy the files from $OEM$ then just copy everything inside there EXCEPT the Install folder into a "WPI" folder and place that and the autorun file in the root of the cd.Edit the config files that you copied inside the WPI folder to point to the Install folder inside the your $OEM$. Now you have both options to copy the files over to the drive and run it from cd and both methods share the same Install folder to save space.=========================Method 2:If you dont have $OEM$ copy files to the drive then just setup all your wpi files to run setups from inside the root folder "WPI" and copy over the modified autorun file that matches your Windows version.You locate the area to run WPI under the "Perform additional tasks" on all 3 files. I replaced the "View Release Notes" line so its no big loss.Screenshot of the XP autorun: Download Autorun Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Rhoads Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks, sadly all the credit goes to M$ as i just edited a few lines of text with a resource editor lol. The real ideal was from the threads about making WPI only cd's. I felt that if you only install a few small apps that use around 180MB and less of space like shown on my themes one could just throw them on the Windows cd. That way, you have the best of both worlds and it can be launched using a autorun thats already there for a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Rhoads Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Here is a Pulsar inspired autorun for the guys/gals who need one for a stand alone cd or dvd.Just place all of your wpi files and folders inside the supplied "WPI" folder, edit your config setup paths like the example below and burn. I included a wpi.cmd file that is already setup with the correct paths to apply a 1024x768x32@60 resolution (change that to your liking). That, hiding the command window, and applying the wpi.reg file is the only thing it does. Dont need all of the find cdrom command stuff using this as the autorun menu,which calls the needed files, is running from the cd. The cmd has a master tweak and shutdown line thats disabled. Remove the dashes in front of the commands if you want to use those.Important part:The config.js software paths need to be edited in the format below:cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\WPI\\Install\\netfxsp1.exe']The part in bold has to be done that way, the rest of the path and filename can be edited to suit your needs.Screenshot: Download File Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrenca Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I think this tutorial is as good as any, a bit old but the mechanics of it still work. I built most of my stuff using Installshield Demoshield but Autoplay Media Studio will do the same.AutoRun TutorialBTW, download files should be back up.

lawrenca Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 ideas,If you are only looking for changing the functionality within the Setup.exe off the Windows CD (like in the custom autoruns folder-WindowsXP, Windows2003, and Windows2000, you can make most of the mods within ResHacker (look under String Tables for launch commands). You can also change out icon and bitmap resources with this tool.If you need more control and want to add extra pages, Autoplay or Demoshield might be a bit easier, both are commercial products but offer evaluation editions. Demoshield = $499 USDAutoplay Media Studio = $495 USDMacrovision will require you to enter credentials before download, not sure how the evaluation copy works as my company purchased the full version.Demoshield DownloadAutoplay Media Studio DownloadBTW, I was not the author of the tools you are downloading, they are in the original posts, I just happened to have them available from the original links. I don't use them but got "ideas" for my own projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
