Wouldn't try that. Too many people don't have VB runtimes installed,
and just throwing them on the CD doesn't work (unless you want to make
people install them first, which is a pain, but could work). I tried
going this route when I was working on a CD for a local company -
needed an autorun menu-type thing. Couldn't get it to work reliably
on all versions of 95/98/NT.
I ended up going with this program:
AutoPlay Menu Studio Pro
http://www.indigorose.com/autoplay/
which would probably be too expensive to invest in for a project like
this, although I suppose since I have it I could generate the menu
program for the CD. But unless Tim could get things organized to the
point of me only needing to tap in the locations of a few random
executables on the CD, maybe some text on the menu screen, I can't
offer to do it - too busy. Well, I can't offer to do it for free, and
Tim couldn't afford to pay me to do it.
