CptMurphy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The simplest way is to use a CD-RW, or DVD+/-RW, and use the autorun.inf(or ini, can't remember which). Have it say:[AUTORUN]run=\_FolderHere_\FileHere.whateverAnother way it to do it to the registry under the RunOnce key. Then make a string value. Name it whatever you want. Double-click it and put the path of the file you want to execute within quotes. So it'll look like this "E:\files\setup.exe" or similar. For an example, look right above the RunOnce key at the Run key. It'll have files that are running on bootup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djavis Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 hello friend,Didn't really understand you...First of all i didn't meant after inserting the CD.I want after finishing with the installation (from WIN XP CD) - to run an EXE file that located on the same CD (of the installation).Imagine that you're installing WIN XP with a cd called "1".After the Windows is installed and the windows is logging in for the first time you'll browse to the CD ("1") and double-click an EXE file that located on the cd with the win. installation.My CD is doing the installation process automaticly so i want to run the EXE file (from the cd) right fter it finishes to install the windows...

oneless Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 i do something like that . can be adapted for your needs but this second part , i can do only with autoIT .are you familiered with ?i copy during install with a batch my. exe from %windir% (it is placed in $$ folder in my uA)%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ , and this is open by a shortcut file placed in %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup(copied there also from %windir% via $$ by my batch file)my exe uis not related with other files . so the .exe is open at first startup .for you need to know the letter of CD-drive (only with autoIT i can do it)and the .exe put on startup can run your exe from cd .
