Default 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

Could you specify why you want to do so and the name of the program you
have in mind?

You cannot run from CD ordinary programs that require installation by
copying the installed files to CD. 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:

Thanks for the responses.

The application is 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

Just set up the directories the way you want them,
then just copy that to the compilation window in Roxio.

Hi ' other guy'

'Just set up the directories the way you want them,

Do you mean copy the exe files?

In the bottom left pane of compilation window, right-click the blank
area and choose 'Create Folder'. 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'.
