Using Powerpoint Viewer on CD

[Chink!]

Hello folks

I've made a set of powerpoint presentations which will be circulated on CD.
They are linked together via html files
I have created an autorun so that the index.html file starts when the cd is
loaded.
this is all working well up to now.....

My question is:
is it possible to use the Powerpoint viewer to open a presentation if the
user doesnt have powerpoint installed?
They would access the pps by clicking on a link

Ive browsed several previous posts and explanations about the powerpoint
viewer being used with autorun cds but these involve the Powerpoint
presentation opening when the cd loads - which is not what I want

many thanks

CH!

The user would need to install the Viewer on their system before running the CD.
Under the scenario you describe, the Viewer will not run automatically from the
CD.
