Building a LabVIEW installer that auto runs

[JTShaw]

Hello,

I am looking for a tutorial that gives the steps on creating an installer. I need to have the installer copied to a DVD for distrubution. I am wondering if there is a way to have the install run once the DVD in inserted like an "Auto Run" Is this possible? The next best I guess would be to include a readme file which I will probably have anyways. I have always written the program on the PC that it will be used on so creating an installer is new to me.

Thanks,

John

Depends on the environment, but if we are talking Windows you need to make an autorunrun.inf, then burn the DVD with the software and the autorun.inf on the root of the DVD.

Keep in mind that in Windows can be configured to not use the autorun.inf for security reasons.  If this is enabled you won't be able to use this feature.
