[Opencd-devel] Windows Versions ?

[Martin S. <bud...@bu...>]

In a file on the root of the CD in a file called

AutoRun.inf

Put the following details

[AutoRun]
open=whatever.exe
icon=whatever.ico 


Replace the whatever with the relevant file and icon

I would back up previous thoughts that the initial startup should
be to a html page i.e. open=index.htm, this would open the web 
browser that has the extension registered, so if mozilla was 
installed and had the default extension, then it would use that.

Another thing to bear in mind is which version of windows this
CD will run on. It has to be bourne in mind that the CD will
install apps straight off on Win9* but some applications that
need to modify the registry will need administrator priviledges
to install on Windows 2K, i have no personal knowledge of ME or XP
may be someone else can advise on this.

So windows targets include ?

95
98
NT
2000 
XP - Home and Professional ?
ME ?

Maybe a script in the install page (index.htm) to recognise which
version of Windows is being used ? and to auto refresh to the 
OS specific page. ie. index98.htm or index2K.htm etc.
