problem creating autorun CD

[PinkCrib]

I've created an autorun.inf file which is supposed to open index.swf file
automatically, then used "Roxio easy CD creator 5" to write to a CD.

The command I use in autorun.inf is,

[autorun]
OPEN=index.swf
icon=index.swf

After the CD is created, it dosen't autorun. Also, if I try to double-click
the CD drive under "my computer" folder, I get an error saying, <CD-ROM
drive>:\ is not a valid Win32 application. What did I do wrong?

Thanks

I don't know what a SWF file does, but you need an executable file after the
OPEN command.

Here's an example:

This small freeware file will launch any app but must also be included in the
root of the CD with the autorun.inf file.

Syntax would be:

OPEN=shellout.exe index.html

or simply;

OPEN=shellout index.html

This will launch whatever app is associated with the html file in a system.

Download Shellout.exe from here:
http://www.mrichter.com/cdr/files/files.htm

Notes: If you have the index.htm(l) file contained in a folder, you must include
its path in the statement. The file extension of the HTML file must match the
actual file being called.
