AUTORUN.EXE, Version 1.01, 12/23/1996
-------------------------------------
Copyright 1996 Glenn M. Picher, Dirigo Multimedia
This text file is probably being shown because AutoRun.EXE has launched
it for you. This is the Windows NT version. This file is launched
when the CD's software has never been installed on the machine.
If AUTORUN.INI had specified an .EXE file instead of this .TXT file, that program
would be running now. Typically, you'd launch an installer program the first
time the CD is inserted, and launch the installed software on the hard drive
whenever the CD is inserted later.
To simulate the effect of running an installer that establishes a .INI file
to instruct AutoRun.EXE where to find the installed software on the hard
drive, copy the INSTDEMO folder onto the top level of your c: drive and
copy the AR-INST.INI file within the INSTDEMO folder into your Windows folder.
Then run AutoRun.EXE again.
Note that under Windows NT, 16-bit applications use a different
Windows folder than 32-bit applications. Make sure your installer
establishes the AR-INST.INI file in the 16-bit Windows folder
(because AutoRun.EXE, which might be launched on Windows 3.1,
is a 16-bit application). If you are authoring an installer with
Macromedia Director, you can use the Versions XObject (also from
Dirigo Multimedia) to detect the two different Windows NT folders.
However, you should be aware that 32-bit Director projectors
are unable to use XObjects on Windows NT; you should use a 16-bit
projector if you must use XObjects. A 32-bit Xtra version of
the Versions XObject is under development, to remove this limitation.
If your installed software does not use XObjects, you can use
a 16-bit projector with the Install XObject to install a 32-bit
projector on the user's hard drive. AutoRun.EXE can launch
32-bit applications as well as 16-bit applications.
