    Thanks. That seemed to work. Now I have to get that code signing cert & I should be almost ready to go....

    Re: How do I make my installer start when CD inserted

    Hello,

    I would suggest to use an executable name in the "8.3" form.

    For example:

    Code:
    [AutoRun]
    OPEN=setup.exe
    That's the most reliable and easiest solution.

    Or try to put double quotes around a LFN executable (but it all depends on the drive type, medium type, Windows version, etc.). I would use setup.exe.

    Of course, this will not work on a drive where Autorun is turned off

    The Autorun Windows feature handles this for you. The file to run must be specified in an AUTORUN.INF file located in the CD's root directory (see attached screenshot).
