Burning Application to CD-R
Hi,
I want to create two directories on a CD-R. The first will constin an exe programme. The second will contain the installed programme files from the above exe file (installed on CD-R). I have Roxio Creator Software. I run under Vista Home Premium, 32 bit. Please can someone provide guidance. Thanks Best wishes A |

For that you need "portable" version of the program that is designed to run from removable storage devices. It may well be that to run the portable programs from the CD all you need to do is burn the portable programs to CD if the program does not write anything. For the portable VLC (media player), however, you need to install to hard disk, run it at least once to write configuration files and then burn the install directory to CD. [Do you need instructions on how to do this?] You may experiment with portable CDBurnerXP: http://cdburnerxp.se/downloads/portable/ |

I intend to run the programme from CD-R (to save my hard disk space). Any data files produced, I'll save to my hardrive. I get the impression that all I have to do is burn the exe file to the CD-R (using Roxio), then click on the exe file and let the programme install itself on the CD-R. Is this correct |

Name it like 'program-name-setup'. Click/Highlight the created 'setup' folder and drag&drop the install ..exe file (from the upper pane) onto the bottom right pane. In the bottom left pane of compilation window, click/select/highlight the 'Disc Name'. Right-click the blank area and choose 'Create Folder' and name it like 'program-name'. In the upper left window, navigate to \Program Files\your-program and click/highlight the folder. Select 'all' files and folders in the right pane -- first click the top-most item and then Shift-Click the last item -- and drag&drop them onto the bottom right pane. After burn, go to \program-name and double-click something like 'program-name.EXE'. |
