Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I have created some HTML content that I need to distribute on CDROM. The CDROM needs to work on Macs and PCs. In the root I have an index.htm file and a folder that contains all of the contents. My jacket instructions tell people they need to insert the CD-ROM, then click on the index.htm file. Pretty boring. I have noticed when downloading Mac .dmg files of applications over the internet, that when the download completes, the .dmg is mounted and automatically opened to reveal the installation screen. Often times, this installation screen has the application icon and a shortcut to the Application folder, usually with an arrow suggesting to the user that they should drag the app icon to the Application shortcut to install it. The better implementations have other graphics, company logos and miscellaneous information, etc. What I would like to know is if it's possible to create that same type of experience for my CD-ROM content. Ideally, I'd like that window to pop up as soon as the CD-ROM is inserted and mounted. I know that Mac doesn't do "autorun" of an application, but I was hoping it could at least automatically open a default folder -- a folder that with rich graphical content and layout alongside the icon to launch the default HTM file. I hope my description makes sense. I would REALLY appreciate any assistance you can offer For Hybrid Mac and PC CD/DVD and auto-reveal of the contents of the CD/DVD, Toast is the best solution IMHO. Sure, you can do it with the command line, if you don't mind ruining your eyes and spending more times doing it with the Terminal. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
