Save as... Bypass CD Writer Wizard

[Wes Stebbins]

A friend of mine can choose "File\Save As..." from within InDesign and save
directly to a CD-R (yes, a CD-R - NOT a CD-RW and also unformatted until he
saves to it) and it saves to CD successfully and "seamlessly!" Yet, on a
different computer with the same InDesign software version installed (I
believe it's 2.0?) , he cannot - it has to go through "CD Writer Wizard"
first, etc. The only difference I can tell is the "Seamless" computer has
Windows XP Home while the other computer has Windows XP Pro. What - if
anything - do I need to do to get the XP Pro computer to "skip" the "CD
Writer Wizard" and also save "seamlessly?"

To use a CD as output media from a program (other than one designed to
do its own burning) you need to have one of the 'packet writing'
programs installed: Direct CD (now Drag to Disk) from Roxio, InCD from
Nero or DLA from Sonic
