I created autorun for CD, burn it on CD with program, but it launch the
Setup without even any prompt. Just want add prompt for user before
launching setup. This depends however, how this setup designed. I my
case it just launch installation without prompt. Should I add some
third party autoplay.exe file that will show first splash screen with
prompt?

[autorun]
open=Folder\Setup.exe
icon=icon.ico

You dont need a 3rd party utility. A VBS file will do. make a VBS file with following
lines :

question="Are you sure you want to run Setup ?"
fileToRun="regedit.exe"
If msgbox(question,4132,"Autorun")=6 Then
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run(fileToRun)
End If

Then in the autorun file :
[autorun]
shellexecute=vbSFilePath

Have not heard about this method still. So i should burn this
launcher.vbs on CD with other files? Should i add "Set WshShell =
Nothing" at the end of script?

fileToRun="Folder\Setup.exe"


and Autorun.inf will be

[autorun]
shellexecute=launcher.vbs
icon=icon.ico

There is no need.

Yup. I just tested(on virtual drive) and all works.
Autorun.inf file :

[autorun]
shellexecute=launcher.vbs
icon=icon.ico


VBs file :

question="Are you sure you want to run Setup ?"
fileToRun="Folder\Setup.exe"
If msgbox(question,4132,"Autorun")=6 Then
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run(fileToRun)
End If


After this i created a folder named folder and placed an exe file named setup.exe.

I tried this on floppy - not work for me.. My autorun.inf file does not
cause a VBScript message. The message popup and launch application when
click on script, though..

I dont think autorun.inf files work on floppies !
