Re: Win98 loses path

[Thomas J McGrath III]

I put the image folder at the root level although the exe is in a 
subfolder with the autorun.inf pointing to the exe in the subfolder.

Everything works OK now.

Now how about the mac autorun????

OK, my relative paths are messed up!!

I put the autorun.inf file at the root level of my CD. It points to 
"open=unity\UnityCD.exe" where the executable is in a folder called 
"Unity". In that same folder is my images folder called "media".
Anyway, it works and auto runs the standalone app on Win XP and Win 
2000.
Some ideas...

Does double clicking on the app allow the images to be seen?
If so, then for Windows, something might be amiss with the 
defaultFolder.

You might...
1. try displaying it in a test version and go from there.
What kind of test? like one image and a close box?

2. try putting a copy of media at the root.
That sounds interesting

3. try testing for this situation and changing the defaultFolder.
That's the problem. I have so many scripts that use variations of the 
defaultFolder that should work.

4. try fiddling with a batch file that changes the working directory 
or something.
That would not work for me since I am on a Mac.

Are your image paths like this:  media/bell.gif
Or like this: ./media/bell.gif
?
media/slide1.png

I have some vague memory of the working directory being different for 
98 and 2000 with autorun, but I don't know what is what.

If you have to get something out the door, you might try #2.  It is 
ugly, but it might work.
I am trying #2 right now. get back to you.....

Just some ideas.
