Distributing a Database

[ddrew]

Looking for some help on packaging my DB please.

My DB is now finished and I now want to be able to put it onto a CD for distribtion. I know how to package it up which I have done. I have the packaged file set in a file on my PC (setup.exe and autorun.inf). I burnt the files to a CD last night but when I put the CD in the drive it didnt autorun the .exe file.

I have the files in the root of the CD. Can anyone shed some light as to why it dosent autorun the .exe please?

This is the code in the autorun.inf file, which was generated when I did the packaging.

[autorun]
OPEN=SETUP.EXE /AUTORUN
ICON=SETUP.EXE,1

Not for sure but, as far as I know, it is somewhere, in windows, an option that enable or disable the autorun feature. So, I suspect that this feature is disabled.

No I checked that and I have enabled it for installing programs. Thanks.
