Re: Creating Installation windows
Thanks for your reply, the book is also in pdf but I provide folders with worksheets in word or excel so that clients can open them change and ammend and then save, these are all linked through the web page. Tried Autorun.inf but that does not seem to work these days Thanks anyway.

It used to be possible to get this to happen automatically on a PC when the Cd was inserted, with an AUTORUN.INF file (plus a couple of other small files) but I do not know whether this still works with more recent versions of Windows. I do not think that this was ever possible on a Mac, because Apple took the security implications more seriously.

Creating Installation windows
I have written a book in word and excel in a web page, to be put on CD and need to create those install windows where you drag the icon to the Applications to install the files. I need to do this so the CD can be used on a Mac or PC any suggestions of a suitable program that will launch a web based book from a CD for Windows or Mac? I was going to print the book but it is 300 pages long and my printer packed up so I now have a new Epson printer but have 3 sets of HP Printer print cartridges (HP02, HP94 and HP95) surplus to requirements.
