Thread: !!!!!AUTORUN.inf!!!!! Need Help.......

Hello Forum..........

First of all HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to you all..............

I need help from you people regarding the title of my thread.......!!!!

Actually i downloaded a software which has a .exe file named WinBootstrapper along with the Setup.exe file........
Now my actual Q to you all is this.........
I want to burn this whole software onto a disc and want to make it AutoRun.
Now i know that to make any software Autorun we need to have a Notepad file named as Autorun.inf written using Notepad.
So shall i edit a file with following commands?

[AutoRun]
open=setup.exe
icon=setup.exe,0

And if i make a file with that name then the .exe file present already in that folder i.e. WinBootstrapper.exe, will it interfere with Autorun commands?
And my last Q regarding this topic is that i want 2 place an additional folder in that disc along with all the supporting files and folders of this software. So, will that folder make my Autorun.inf file ineffective?

Please answer these 3 Qs of mine.

Any help from you people will be greatly appreciated.............

Waiting desperately for your response.......

Thank You..........

I didnt understand it fully, yet ill answer what I understood.
"open=" code will execute only the file you have mentioned, even if many exe's are present in the same folder it will not have any effect.

You can have many folders no problem.


P.S. As said by theplayer use a software its easy and accurate.

Yeah! There are two .EXEs present!!!
The one is Setup.exe & the other one is WinBootstrapper.exe. And i want to make Autorun of the setup. That means i want the setup box shall launch automatically when i insert the disc in ROM.
So i think that i should give Autorun command for Setup.exe alone!! Isn't it?
Please correct me if i am assuming wrong here.

By the way can you suggest me any good software for this task? But if you can tell me procedure to make Autorun by myself then it will be prefered by me at first try!!!

Still if this job is too difficult to explain or to accomplish then please tell the name of that software.

Thanks for all your effort.........

Do reply if possible........

thats why i was asking for if you have the archive of it....

Thanks.........

Player already gave you the link RJL Software - Software - Utility - AutoRun Wizard

enjoy life..








p.s: i am getting out of this, as i never tried much of autorun burning myself.

So i have the archived file for WinBootstrapper.exe!!!!!

Now what can i do further for making this Autorun disc?

by the way thanks for your helps and replies.........

i have given the download link.
download it here:RJL Software - Software - Utility - AutoRun Wizard

i will see if i can find a freeware software for this purpose.

this is actual code you can copy paste it.

[Autorun]
open=\name.exe
icon=test.ico

replace name by the exe name you want to launch. In your case its setup.exe
its good to make it yourself rather than using a software.

(before burning this to a actual disk, make an iso or nrg file and test it.)

^^ will iso open up runup??

should use a image drive to load the ISO.

As soon as the iso is loaded into the image drive the autorun should work and the setup shoud start, just to check this ISO need to be burnt..once it is confirmed that it will work then he can burn all the files to a cd

Hello kirankumargb,

Thanx for the useful information u provided. Idid exactly you said. But nw i need a little more help from your side, please.

How can i make image of the setup file? I never created an image before. As u told that before burning it onto a disc i should make an imge. So, please tell me how can i create an image of it!!

I tried Nero Startsmart and even gBurner. But all my attempts turned out to be futile here!!

Please help...............

KK has answered most questions.

There can be as many folders as you like on the disk. Each folder can have as many EXE files as desired. Autorun.inf should be:

Code:

[Autorun]
open=\<folder_name>\setup.exe
icon=\<folder_name>\setup.ico or setup.exe,0

The autorun will run the EXE named in the autorun.inf. And this file must be located in the root directory of the disk.

The other folders could contain whatever you like - documentation, data, your personal files, etc. It does not matter at all.

Just go to Nero add the files then click next and next change the option in 'Current recorder' option select it as 'Image Recorder' then click next and select the path of hard disk where .nrg file to be saved after creating image load it into DAEMON Tools or any other software in will be present in virtual CD/DVD drive.

Its simple,
Just do as usual to write the files in the CD using nero and in nero select the recorder as image recorder and burn it.
When you click burn it will ask where to save ?, just give a file name and the location for it to save and it will do the same procedure as writing into disk but insted of disk it will save on HDD itself.

After it finishes writing goto start menu, where nero is there, click Nero Image drive, once it opens load this just burnt file there and your autorun should work fine.

sorry mate, my net connection is very slow when i opend this thread your reply was not there, before i could post it, your post was there.. credits to you

Hi kirankumargb,

Thanx a lot buddy to help me in the great way!!!!

To check the Autorun.inf file, i created an Autorun file for a small general freeware and kept it in a folder along with the Setup file for which i created it. And then i burned it on a disc to check wheather it works or not. And to my utter surprise as soon as the disc loded the setup stated and everything went good and well!!! Even i got the Icon for it in the place of my DVD ROM Drive in Windows Explorer!!!!

Now i need just a little more help, offcourse, for the last and final time!!!!!

I want to keep a Menu Window for the actual software. So, how can i build a menu for it? The Menu i want for it is just like we see for Nero OEM version or say for our Windows Installer CD ROM, with various options on it such as:----

1. Launch Setup

2. Browse Disc

3. Additional Softwares Located on disc
etc.

And i want all these options on a prior-specified background image!!!!

So, please help me out for this last time..............
And big thanx to all the other Forum Members also who helped me a lot in their own & unique way!!!!!

Waiting for the replies from you genius people..........

Thanks...................

Don't need to sorry for that mate.
It is good that both of us posted to help him.

Next time never said sorry to me, treat me as your close friend.

Hi there you all helpful and generous people,

I did exactly you people suggested me by making an Autorun.inf file. But for testing purpose i did it with a small sized freeware program.

Actually i created an Autorun.inf file for it and placed it in the folder of that freeware's Setup.exe directory. Now i just burned both of those files (Setup.exe and Autorun.inf) onto a disc.
After that i inserted that disc again in my ROM and to my utter surprise the freeware installed without any problem!!!! And, even more, I also got an icon of that freeware in place of my DvD ROM's icon!!!!!! All went with such an ease and smoothness!!!!

Now, i need a little more help ( offcourse for the last and final time) regarding this issue...........

I want to make a Setup Menu for the actual software, just like we see for Nero OEM versions, or to be more specific, like we see for Windows OS Installer Packages with various options on a background image of my choice.........

Sorry to bother you great helpers...........but, please help me out in this last query of mine.........i'll be thankful to you all people for your valuable and priceless efforts............

Once again, i wish to thank a lot to you all people for your help and replies........

Waiting for responses, help and replies from all of you..................
