Can you advise on programs that create a shell so that people with few
knowledge don"t have to navigate on the CD but can click on a button an
the shell to start the install of a specific program ?

Thanks Frank

Do you have an install executable on the CD? If so, just put
Autorun.inf on it, and point it to your install program. If the user
has autorun turned on it will automatically run your install program.
(If the user has it turned off, he's on his own - with your CD or with
anyone else's CD.)

After you have sorted out the autorun bit, out you might also like to
look at this program-

Quick Menu Builder

Quick Menu Builder enables you to create custom, executable menus. Your
custom menu is compiled into a stand-alone executable file and works on
all versions of Microsoft Windows®. Production of menus is easy, fast,
does not require programming knowledge, and the results are very
impressive! The User interface has been designed to be intuitive and
allows you to progress logically through your menus' construction.
Construction of the menu is divided into steps and you have a substantial
degree of freedom within each step and its available features. You can
create a menu in several minutes or take more time to customize the menu,
right down to the last detail. Every feature is customizable; each menu
you create can be radically different from any other. The menus are
created as an "under-lay" beneathe a picture. The "buttons" are
installed into the picture, where-ever you would like them. Each button
can be assigned a different action (ie: execute program, explore folder,
open document, open multimedia file, link URL, send e-mail and many
more...). Quick Menu Builder supports animated GIF pictures, videos and
Flash (Macromedia®) to assist you in bringing some liveliness to your
menu. You can also link several menus and have access from one to another
very easily. Quick Menu Builder is the most efficient way to build menus
for all your: CD-ROM, DVD autorun, Application launcher(s) and many, many
other multimedia projects...

If you have questions about autorun.inf, it's a trivial text file.

[autorun]
OPEN=the_name_of_your_executable_installation_program_here.exe

If you want an icon to appear for the CD drive in Explorer, add one
line:

ICON=file_name_of_the_32x32x256_icon_file_here.ico
