Hi. I'm creating some email stationary for a client and to make it easy for them to install I would like to give them a cd which will auto run and copy the relevant files to their stationary folder. Could anyone advise on how this can be achieved. Many thanks in advance.

Make a simple exe - screen with a few buttons, Shell the commands on mouse click (ShellExecute()).

Create a file called Autorun.inf – this has to be saved to the root of the cd image
In the file add the following

[autorun]
open=The_Name_Of_The_VB_Installer.exe
icon=What_Ever_Icon_You_Want.ico
label=My Installer CD

I think thats it...pretty basic but should work.
 
Many thanks bodhi. I shall have a bash.
