Hi, Rex.
I just wanted to jump in here and explain that you can create an autorun CD
with PowerPoint, the PowerPoint Viewer, and an autorun.INF file. Nothing is
installed on the recipient's computer; everything is run directly from the
CD. PPT isn't as powerful as Flash, but it can certainly be much easier to
learn--at least for a sighted person. ;-) And a well designed PPT
presentation can be as effective as Flash on an autorun CD.
There is information on my site about PPT and autorun CDs.
http://www.echosvoice.com/autoruncd.htm You will want to download the PPT
Viewer from http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/Ppview97.aspx and
install it to your harddrive before you begin so that you will have all of
the files necessary to copy to your CD.
Your finished CD will have the following:
the CD itself ("root")
Present (folder)
Setup (folder)
The autorun.INF file has the following text:
[autorun]
open=ppview32.exe present\present.LST
The autorun.INF file is burned to the CD root along with all of the PPT
Viewer files necessary. Those are listed at
http://www.echosvoice.com/173937.txt
The LST file would have the following text:
FILE1.PPT
FILE2.PPT
If you don't want to make a playlist (LST file), you can just put the name
of your PowerPoint file in the autorun.INF instead. (For example,
open=ppview32.exe present\file1.ppt )
The present.LST file goes in the folder on your CD called present. Your
presentation file goes in this folder, too. If you've used any movies or
sounds in your presentation, they also go in this folder.
Finally, copy the ppview.dll file from your harddrive to the folder on your
CD called setup.
That's it.
I'm also interested in knowing how Vic turns the PPT presentations into EXE
files, but I wanted you to know that autorun CDs can also be made without
EXE files.
