CD FRONT END 1 (simple) - CD FRONT END 3 (html-like, can run programs without warnings)
The CD Front End 1 is a simple set of file: it allows you to create an autoinstall CD where you can put any EXE software, and/or any PDF, HLP, ZIP, CHM file. The user simply inserts the CD, then a window is shown with simple buttons: a click on one of the buttons starts your .exe / .pdf etc. No configuration, no hassle. You simply create a "data" directory, then you include your files there, with a meaningful name. A CD burner software is all what you need.
Step by step usage:
a) unzip the ZIP in the root directory of a CDROM (i.e. in a tmp directory that you will copy in the root directory of a CD), then create a "data" directory. Optional: insert a file "picture.gif", max 437x86 (why 437x86??).
b) insert in the "data" directory all the things you want the final user can run. The program supports .exe and .hlp, and - when the proper reader are installed - .zip, .chm and .pdf (so you can actually create with this utility a professional CD for your application: even the VisualVision CDs, solded by Internet and in retail stores, use the CD Front End 1). Give them a meaningful name, for example if you want that the user will click on the button "Install Hyper Publish", save the respective exe file as "Install Hyper Publish.exe", not rxx_en3pr.exe. The max number of files is 4 (if you need more see the CD Front End 2, below, even FREE!).
c) burn the CD and test it. In the included example you'll get (obviously you can choose any picture you want!):
d) Enjoy!!!! If you like the program, we will be glad if you put a link to http://www.visualvision.com anywhere on your site.
The CD Front End 3 allows you to create an autorun CD presentation where you can put your files, your software or your stuff. The user simply inserts the CD, then in a full screen window an HTML-like presentation will be shown. Inside it you can include any button you want to launch self extracting EXE files, PDF files, ZIP files and anything you want (you can place them anywhere on the CD - and... the program asks no confirmations before installing!), and any linked page you want for license, additional info, etc. No hassles, no configuration files, no browsers needed!
